I’m not sure I’d give public education the same credit that Paul does, but it certainly isn’t useless. Vouchers are a worthy experiment, but there are plenty of “gotchas”, so we should proceed with caution.

The group also points to a past Utah case that said indirect funding of religion – such as fire protection for churches – is constitutional because religions are just one of many groups receiving services.

That’s a horrible argument. Religious buildings represent only a small fraction of those served by fire departments. Religiously affiliated schools, as evidenced by Cleveland, would represent a huge majority of those benefiting from vouchers.

Yes, after 60 years of it’s broken and we need more money to fix it. It’s time to try something beside’s the public socialist indoctrination system, let’s get back to basics by putting the parents in charge and not the State, it works well in private schools.

Publically CONTROLLED education has failed, publically funded education FUNDED education however works great. And you also should acount for where you live. Where I live (West Hartford CT) the schools are great, but in Hartford and most cities they are awful.

Public education has failed? It has problems, yes, but the public education system is one of the great strengths of this country, and put us where we are today.
