Private religious schools should never get one cent of public money, for any reason. It is not the government's job to back-stop anybody's religion. The smoke screen of giving parents a choice, is in fact making Arkansas' already awful schools even worse by taking funding away from them. Once you realize the Republicans want to create a permanent American underclass, much of what they do becomes apparent.

From the first I heard of "voucher" programs, I have been utterly and adamantly opposed to them. Too often, they drain monies away from public schools which are operating on the margins of competency and render them even less effective at their missions than they already are. Considering her previous decision regarding child labor, Governor Sanders' actions here just continue to follow the same dangerous pattern.

Her goal is simple, insofar as I can see it: the dismantling of public education and the de-education of Arkansas' kids, who apparently are meant for the labor pool of the Natural State ... though what's "natural" about that utterly escapes me.
