I've read and reread the rhetoric on the pros and cons of school vouchers. It seems the tenor of the debate revolves around the tiresome platform of "haves" and "have nots."
Enough already!
Why is it that someone wishing their tax dollars to be used differently is castigated as somehow robbing the poor? This issue is a matter of those who are fed up with the monopoly of the education/government power block dictating an educational agenda that is failing and/or detrimental to their personal standards.
Those in favor of vouchers are not all economically elite. Many are simply working-class parents who are willing to sacrifice precious personal resources to give their children a better alternative to the spoon-fed agenda now in power. If anti-voucher proponents don't agree or believe the current system is satisfactory, then let them keep their tax dollars in the system.
Vouchers free the users from being forced to pay at the company store for a product they don't want.
