I know lots of poor Democrats who want vouchers because they have lousy schools that can't be fixed any time soon.

I don't care if we do weaken the teachers unions. Might be a good thing to get them to be more flexible.

Money is already flowing to religous institutions. The difference is some families would get the money back. Others might be able to afford the schools.

There is already a separatist attitude among private school, public school and faith-based schools. So?

It would be easy to make voucers good only in schools that state (and now federal) standards.

The hard part about having homeschool children pass the same exams is not all homeschooling follows the exact same patterns. I would say they should have to pass some sort of eighth grade and 12 grade general exam.
