It's so sad. Many private schools are 2nd and 3rd tier schools. Here in Nashville, we have some excellent private schools: Oak Hill, Harpeth Hall, Overbrook, Father Ryan, Currey-Ingram, Brentwood Academy, Montgomery Bell, FRA, BGA, Ensworth, Harding Academy...I could go on. I certainly didn't list every private school that delivers an excellent education. However, we all know that there are plenty of second-rate schools. Just because a child goes to a private school doesn't mean it is better than a public school. Many are worse. Many are just money-making enterprises. I think the real point of vouchers is to direct money to folks who just want to turn a profit. Should any tax dollars go to religious schools? Doesn't that violate the US Constitution? But what does trump care about the Constitution?
A complete disaster, this is.
Quite so.

This is the saddest news that I have heard in a very long time......and I've been hearing lots of political bad news lately.
It is sad, yes. I’m glad my home state of Kentucky is still voucher and charter free.
