NC reverend warns of problems with vouchers

Kansas now has a form of vouchers in the ALEC tax credit “scholarships” contained in the school finance bill passed in the final hours of the 2014 legislative session. NC has gone further along the ALEC plan. Here’s what a NC reverend has to say: “But the best reason to oppose school vouchers is because they drain millions of tax dollars from our cash-strapped public schools. We have not yet financed our public schools as fully as they deserve. Apparently we cannot afford even inadequate funding for our public schools. This is no time to be supporting yet another school system, especially one that so clearly violates our state and federal constitutions. It is unethical and immoral to take tax dollars from public schools and hand them over to unaccountable private corporations that don’t have to accept everybody, obey public school standards, provide a lunch room or a library, or care for special needs students.”
