Keep in mind, I have not changed my stand on the issue. I just want to hear all sides here  |
No, no, no, no, no. Everyone must contribute to paying for public schools or the system will fall apart. It is like having the choice to pay social security taxes or give to private charity, if you were given the choice and everyone gave to private charity then welfare would fall apart. It is the parent's choice to send their kids to private schooling, they shouldn't hurt other kids becuause of their choices.
