So does that mean less money for the public schools? Yes or no?

Your "I hate liberals" spew deserves only the comment that it doesn't deserve a comment.

Let the best schools win.
Fix the public schools we have instead of gutting them.

There is NO MONOPOLY.
Parents can send their kids anywhere they want / can afford.
Does Nissan have a "monopoly" over BMW because Nissan makes cheaper cars than BMW?

They need to be fixed. Not gutted.
It's not "protection". It's making the system that the tax payers are paying for WORK instead of outsourcing it for God knows what type of cost.

How come nobody has explained what the change in cost will be for all these school vouchers...
Are you trying to tell me that the private schools are going to be run at the same cost as the public schools?

Do I need to google some private school tuition amounts to prove that a lark?
