Here's your "smoking gun" evidence: there is no such thing as a private school with metal detectors at the doors. By comparison, many public schools do have them. Voucher programs have never been suggested for average public schools. They are for the bottom 1% of public schools, where the problem of ignorant students is secondary to things like gang violence and drug use.
