I think you may have missed that Florida passed a school choice act, and that tons of funds are now flowing into private religious schools. A ridiculous waste of money, especially considering a majority of said schools raised their tuition rates to just absorb the new funding. DeSantis policies at work.
- CWuestefeld 3y agoI'm not religious myself, but I still think it's pretty ridiculous for you to assume that this mode of education has no value. Isn't our modern watch word supposed to be "tolerance", and not objecting to other members of our community following their values even when those are different from our own?
- voidwtf 3y agoI'm fine subsidizing education of any form, as long as what I'm subsidizing meets all the same standards and burdens that the public option does for the same amount of funding. The idea that they can charge a tuition greater than the subsidized amount is tantamount to a handout. If they want to incorporate religion and/or alternative education, it should be on top of the same requirement the public school systems follow. (i.e. They should be required to teach the standard classes without religious influence or bias. Let their religious teachings be separate classes. No student receiving a publicly funded education should be taught exclusively that the earth is only 6000 years old or supplied with publicly funded textbooks that outright reject evolution in all forms.)
