Opposition Opponents disagree with Ms. Williams. They believe vouchers threaten the existence of the public-school system and its ideal of offering quality education to all children. No voucher program will adequately provide for every child in this nation to have a choice to go to a private school. We do not oppose parents who want to send their children to private schools, but we oppose any public funds going to private schools. We believe public funds going to religious schools is in contradiction to the Constitution.
Opponents also express concern about the agenda of the far-right, which supports vouchers.
This diversion of fund would, of course, have devastating consequences for millions of American children. The public schools would simply not have the funds to educate students adequately. Another group opposing vouchers is the Texas Freedom Network. I really think that situation has fueled the voucher movement here. People don't want to share the dollars.
