[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you're poorly informed. DC has a school voucher program that is a miserable failure. Most of the students go to schools that are almost entirely voucher-funded and there is no accredation or accountability process for these voucher schools. The state of these schools is extremely bad. Vouchers will not fix the public education challenges in our city or in our country.[/quote]

They go to parochial schools that cost less than $10,000, many of which are Blue Ribbon schools where kids learn a great deal in a safe environment.  What's wrong with that?  PP, you sound like a DCPS troll.[/quote]

Do those kids have the option of not taking religion classes or saying prayers or going to mass or giving their own opinion about things like abortion and women priests or the divinity of Jesus at those parochial schools?  Nope, I didn't think so.   (I am a graduate of Catholic schools and I know how these things work.)

And that is what is wrong with that.  Where is the option for parents who don't want to inflict religion or (or a different religion from their own) on their kids?
