3. In Naples

a private school charges $14,000 for the primary grades, $16,000 for middle grades, and $18,000 for HS. So WHO is a $5,000 voucher going to "help" go there?

Contrast a local catholic school which charges $6,000 through 8th grade and $7,000 for HS. Hmm. Seems to me that the only schools that would be affordable with a voucher would be RELIGIOUS schools. They would be funding RELIGION. Of course, the POOR, if willing to send their kids to a relgious school. would still have to find the extra money after that voucher. Think the poor could?????

All these dispictable Repugs want to do is dismantle public education in this country. Favor the rich, dumb down the middle class and increase the ranks of the poor and uneducated peons to work for them.

4. Bingo..

This is designed explicitly to funnel state money to religious schools, the vast majority of private schools in the south are religious in nature, I'm surrounded by "Christian Academies"..
