"These are huge reasons that millions of people enroll their children in private or home schools — Southern Baptists have even debated an "exodus" from public schools — but they must sacrifice their tax dollars to do so." This is such a bogus argument.  People without children and senior citizens "sacrifice their tax dollars" annually.  We all pay for roads too, but we don't all use them equally... should some get a rebate for "their fair share" of the road fund they don't use?  Of course not. States are compelled (by Constitutions) to provide public education to all children.  BUT leave my FREEDOM to educate my children in a private or home school to me... I will pay for it and pay my taxes too.  Oh, wait, I already did that and now I am a "senior" so that means I have to pay for your "government funded school choice" when no one paid for my self-funded school choice for my own kids.  SELF-funded Coverdell ESAs (tax credit) yes, government funded vouchers/ESAs no!  Protect ED LIBERTY!
