It really isn ' t a luxury . <| sep |> I think in cata they did <| sep |> i would have more support for vouchers if it were akin to food stamps where we had more say about where and on what you spent the money on . For example , using vouchers at Flying Spaghetti Monster academy . I really worry that we have become a nation with no shared facts and no shared reality and if everyone can take public money to prop up their own separate schools , that will accelerate this race into the abyss we are in where so many kids aren ' t learning real science . Also , there should be income caps on being able to receive vouchers . If you are rich and would send your kid to an elite boarding school , great , but why should we subsidize that with a public voucher . Likewise , a voucher for a poor person does fuck all for them to actually get their kid to a nicer school if the nicer public school has a tuition fee that is beyond their means even with their voucher to defray part of the cost .
