Tax Breaks And Vouchers And Free Choice, Oh My
Posted on April 21, 2006
Congressman Vito Fossella (R-NY) plans to introduce a bill giving parents of children in private and parochial schools a $4,500 tax credit.
He is concerned that rising tuition costs are making it difficult for middle and low income families with children in private schools. He also feels, that parents should have a choice about where they send their children to learn.
Cue the leftwing nuts who are afraid some child might be learning anything, except how to write essays entitled “Global Warming, George Bush’s Energy Plan” or “Karl Rove and the Halliburton Hurricane Machine,” or reading something other than “The Boy With Two Dads In Bondage.” Their frustration at not being able to control the minds and souls of all our youth are thinly veiled in statements like the following from Donna Lieberman, the executive director of the NYCLU. “It’s a voucher dressed up like a tax credit, and it raises serious concerns about subsidizing private and religious education while undermining our public schools, which are already in duress.”
What she’s really worried about is the undermining of the plot to overthrow our way of life, by poisoning the minds and hearts of our children. In private and parochial school there’s a good chance kids are learning moral absolutes and traditional American values. The left is afraid, very afraid. As Lieberman railed on, “The taxpayers should not be supporting religious education. “They should be supporting nonsectarian education.”
How else will atheistic socialism triumph?

She is right it is a voucher dressed up as a tax credit. She must have something against human rights because the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 26.2 states “Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.” For some reason I do not think I will hear the Human Rights Watch or the ACLU say anything about the her support of the violation even though they are both are NGO’s of the U.N.
The times they are a-changin’. “Our way of life” is on the outs, with or without organizations like the ACLU. It’s the natural progression of things, since no particular way of life can sustain itself for too long. Certain measures may slow the progress some, but in the end, change is inevitable.
