"Why should my tax dollars get to fund religious schools?"
Why should religious people have to pay for your kid's secularist education, which may include elements that are totally inconsistent with their moral worldview?
Public schools are important, but so is choice.
Vouchers are a reasonable idea, and they just might be one of the key ways to help developing communities improve - as many of the best schools in hard-up areas are 'Charter Schools' which could use the funding and students to do a lot of good.
- FireBeyond 10y agoBecause if you take the word 'secular' away, you have a base which is remarkably the same: "secular education" versus "education". When you do the opposite, in direct contradiction with some of the founding principles of the country, you get "religious education". What's the difference, you ask? Religious education oftentimes teaches things we _know_ to be _factually incorrect_, many of those around creationism being the most obvious, but not the only.
