Hi David
Yes of course! If your persuasion is for the KKK and they can launch a
school that satisfies the minimal educational concepts ie the basics.
We give schooling to catholics, protestants, muslims and hindus under
this present or any othe public taxed system and we don't say because
Abdul is a devout Muslim that because he attends LS 101 that we are
funding Islam!!
As far as providing schools for any form of secular or non-secular
persuasion that is up to them! If they can't form a school with enough
adherents to their particular ideology from their available vouchers
(make that read patrons) then they can't and those that want it will
have to move to areas that can serve them.
We have to get away from "Buzz-words" like separation of church and
state, KKK, Nambia, Black panthers. You give your kids values in the
home and you expect to send them to schools that have similar values,
but if you can't be satisfied with what is available and can't move then
you'll just have to try "Home Schooling"
The idea is to give you a choice. Instead of giving you an un-funded
mandate to provide a minimal education we give you the funds! the same
thing the Republicans are trying to do with welfare by giving the funds
to the states, except we are saying give the funds to the parents!!
