      Wtf is Ed choice. Oh. another ‘only American’/scholarship-rewarding-elites thing again. You’re using ‘many’ very liberally.

        A way to divert money from public sector to scumbags in private sector who won’t follow any of the government regulations or take underperforming students.

        Private schools can fire someone for being LGBT, public schools can’t. Private schools can share private medical information with parents (like being LGBT) or seeking birth control, public can’t except under very regulated conditions. Private schools can get out of teaching evolution and sex ed, public schools can’t. The list goes on and on. Public funding of private schools breaks a century of progress. We are going to see a brave new world with football couches and school admins making millions while teachers are making daycare worker salaries teaching from books based on a prot understanding of the bible.
