The School Voucher Drum Beats On

School voucher programs usher in a mind-boggling practical achievement. They take the answer that is public education and scramble it into 3 new problems: forcing the state to improperly promote religion by funding religious schools with taxpayer money, draining the public school system of much-needed resources, and bridling the religious freedom of church institutions with the inevitable strings of government funding. They're bad for the state, bad for children's education, and bad for the church. And yet...

...[now] the Utah legislature passed a bill creating a state-wide school voucher program...It will make available to every student not already attending private school between $500 and $3000 (depending on family income) of public money to attend the private school of their choice, including religious schools, this despite the director of the State Office of Education stating "We have always believed it's unconstitutional."
