> Now instead of drawing funds directly from the district, you're subsidizing private schools at the state level. In California for instance, 57% of school funding comes directly from the state, so that's no change in funding source. Personally, I don't see a difference between funding a religious school and a secular private school, both are capable of following a particular philosophical bent and applying it liberally or dogmatically. To be honest, I think the idea that we can fund any philosophy except one that touches on cosmology (i.e. religion) is an unnatural discrimination against religion.
