Exit polling conducted by The Wash ington Post this year backs that up. Only 16 percent backed vouchers as the preferred alternative. Only 19 percent said they thought free choice for parents among a number of private, church-related schools and public schools will improve public education. Americans United for Separation of Church and State worked in both California and Michigan to educate voters about the threat vouchers pose to religious liberty and public schools. Educational materials prepared by Americans United went out to thousands of AU members, and the group worked closely with anti-voucher coalitions in both states.
School vouchers seem to have more lives than a movie vampire.
But surely these decisive votes in California and Michigan will drive a stake through the voucher movement s heart. Americans United for Separation of Church and State, 2000. All rights reserved.
