Many homeschoolers are vehemently opposed to school choice $ because we don't want government money or the oversight that comes with it.
Any school which does take school choice money is, by definition, a government school.
It's a Trojan horse.
It is. A private school that started taking vouchers went downhill because of "state standards" they must adhere to.
^^^This.
School choice is not a conservative option. It is a way for the government to expand into the ever-changing privatization of education by dangling "free" funds.
Homeschoolers smell a rat and many of us are sounding alarms. We don't want the money because we know it will come with strings. Maybe not today, but strings, indeed.
That is a valid point
Agreed, which is why DJT and others have supported school choice by giving tax breaks or allowances for each child, but then there shouldn’t be a federal income tax in the first place, and there shouldn’t be unconstitutional spending. I think going back to constitutional spending will be the way that things go, and then good states can give state tax breaks.
Yes, ironically, we can get conservatives to rally against universal basic income, socialized medicine (medicare/Medicaid), and even socialized retirement (SSI)...but...
When it comes to education, that same philosophy flies out the window. The government can't define a woman--why do we want it in charge of educating the masses?
Homeschool your children, and forget the gov'ment. They forgot about you long ago.
Send your children to private schools that refuse government funds. Those schools are educating with their own agenda, not the gov'ment's.
Excellent point...and I hadn't thought this deeply about it before, TY.
