Taxpayer money should not go to private schools. Voucherists need to get off their butts and find private money for private schools. Ask the Koch Bros. for scholarship money. Ask Papa John's Pizza for scholarship money. Ask Walmart for scholarship money. Raffle off firewood for scholarship money. The free market will provide. Take your hands away from the public treasury. This is only an excellent waste of taxpayer money cuz I don't live there, and cuz the governor of the state is barely smart enuf to realize he's got to get out of the Party of Stupid, but but too dumb to realize he's stuck in quicksand, and every move makes things worse, and he can't quite reach the white flag to pull himself out. At least 45 percent of students in Louisiana's controversial voucher program last year attended schools with performance scores in the D to F range of the state's grading scale, according to data the state released Wednesday. nola.com

To me, it's a simple matter of race mixing the kids, so they can understand that black, Hispanic, poor and other kids are just like them, no matter how racist their parents. I think vouchers for private schools are an end-around for racists to segregated schools. I don't want my taxes going for vouchers. You want to send your kid to a white private school? Fine, YOU pay for it. Make racism EXPENSIVE.
