Billions in taxpayer dollars now go to religious schools via vouchers

US has a duty to educate our youth. Not to pay for their religious instruction.

Would you have a problem if parents, who's kids don't go to public schools, weren't taxed, but could send it directly to the school of their choice?
 
"In Wisconsin, 96 percent of about 55,000 vouchers given this school year went toward religious schools, The Post found. In Indiana, 98 percent of vouchers go to religious schools.

In Florida, several programs combine to make every student in the state eligible for vouchers, with more than 400,000 participating this year. At least 82 percent of students attend religious schools, The Post found.

That money is tax payer money. Parents are required to educate their kids, but you agree that people have a right to spend their money on religion, don't you? If you launder that money through the government, it still originated as an individuals money, didn't it?
 
So, you want to help the government create an education monopoly and force fund even the shittiest schools, not allow tax payers to have the government redirect their tax money to a school they want their kids to attend and you don't want to allow people to keep their tax money in the first place and pay the school directly?

Well.... you are definitely not a future libertarian.

Ah, surprising then the States with the highest educational achievement, the more educated citizenry, happens to be Blue States .https://usafacts.org/articles/which-states-are-the-most-educated/ )now how do you explain that fact

I have no need to explain anything. Parents should be free to decide who educates their kids. Vouchers help them do just that. That's what I care about.

Leftists are never about freedom they are only about forced compliance.

Absolutely. Even Aristotle said this.

Government should assure all citizens of an equal high school education.

The problem is that a lot of governments suck at running schools and it screwing kids who's parents can't afford to pay for public and private schools.

Then lets work to improve it. We are the government.

The smart way is to create competition and not give the government a monopoly If you haven't noticed, the government sucks at most everything it does.

Wrong, money to pay private school tuition is pulled from public school funding, did you think States approve separate private and public educational funding

Government schools are a failure. Offering funds so parents can find better options IS public funding. Instead of whining, improve government schools so they are competitive with the high quality of private schools.

You of the radical left simply don't approve of the "little people" being offered quality education.
