Correct me if I'm wrong. Proponents for this want the state to directly fund their schools, right?
I agree with vouchers for tax payers to send their kids wherever.
But not for the state to directly fund a particular religion's school.
Am I missing something?

Re: Charter schools
No, you're not missing anything.
IMO, the charter school initiative is a big "aw just screw it. Let's quit trying to fix it." for public education. I blame both sides. The left for continuing to push agendas that degrade the public eductation system by adding non-value add curricula and spending money on programs that don't deliver value and weaken the resolve of students to take accountability for thier lives. And the right for giving up the fight for all kids and not being brash enough to call out those programs. That is one thing I like about Trump is he's not afraid to call out things that are wrong, especially things that are simply "feel good" programs and policies.

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.
