Why is the left terrified of taxpayer funded options for schools?

Private schools would be cheaper for the taxpayers. Give each student a voucher equivalent to the cost of government education, and let the parents decide. I don't see the threat.

If you want your child to go to a government school with metal detectors and cops, then send them there.

If you actually care about your kids and want them to excel, then send them to a private school.

When I was a wee lad, Christmas was so very exciting. We had snow, Christmas trees, and we even got to decorate the tree.

Fast forward to this government freak show we have today, and having a Christmas tree in class will probably land you on a terrorist watch list. How did we allow this to happen?

Why? Because

(1) the teachers' unions and Democrats are soulmates and public school don't want kids to have another option besides public schools.

(2) since teachers unions and Frmocrats are soulmates, Democrats (leftist) want control of what kids get taught.

As one who sent his kids through non-public schools, the last think on earth non-public schools need is a government footprint in their schools. If the day ever comes where taxpayer monies would be used to pay for non public schools, it's likely that the government would insist on conditions, and those conditions would likely be the same conditions that destroyed many public school districts in the first place.

I guess it depends on who's in power at the time. If the Democrats are in charge they will surely screw the whole thing up.
