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?

Private Schools compete for the Best Educators that actually want their students to succeed.

Public Schools practice the No Child Left Behind formula that graduates students even though they haven't learned anything.

I was educated in the Midwest, specifically the State of Indiana. In Indiana, whether it's Public or Private Schools, they all compete for the Best Teachers. Reason being is that the Individual School Corporations are the Employers. Here in North Carolina, ALL Public School Teachers are employed by the State and pay is based on the State Budget every year. So, a Public School Teacher in Charlotte (which is one of the wealthiest areas in NC) gets paid exactly the same wage as a Teacher in Leggett (which is in one of the poorest areas of NC).
