But it is simply not honest to pretend that both the U.S. Constitution and the stricter requirements of our state Constitution, does not prohibit the use of taxpayer dollars for sectarian education. Vouchers are not a program for the improvement of public education. Instead they are intended to encourage the abandonment of public schools and divert tax dollars to parochial schools. This is a subject that demands more candor and less euphemism. The vast majority of so-called 'private' schools are sectarian parochial schools.
Vouchers are no more and no less than religious school subsidies.
