SCHOOL CHOICE

Q: Are you opposed to school choice?

A: Absolutely not, and I do not know of anyone else who is either. I am a graduate of two private church schools. However, I do know many persons who are opposed to use of public money for sending students to private schools. I agree with the Supreme Court of the United States which has said: "No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be called or whatever form they may adopt to teach or practice religion" (Everson v. Board, 1947, 330 U.S. at 15). All Americans are free to choose and attend--at their own expense--a private school; and, no one objects. What proponents of the misnamed "school choice" propaganda want is public money.
