I believe our nation made a commitment to all American child to give them a basic education.   The wealthy are welcome to this subsidy.   But I will be very unhappy if my money goes to paying for an elite education for those that can afford it.

I'm fine with non union school systems that abide by local control as long they obey all civil law.   My daughters had a great education in such a public school.   There was an alternative of  Christian schools for those who chose that direction.   *My Christian evangelical pastor put all the Korver kids through public schools.  He did it with purpose because he believed in respecting all people regardless of race,creed, color,wealth or gender.
