[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youngkin’s kids went to Little Langley, NCS, St Albans and Georgetown Prep.   All privates. Most not even in Virginia. Very very telling. [/quote]
Um, His opponent sent his kids to the Ultra Elite Potomac School in McLean.[/quote]

And?  Had zero to do with current subject. But nice try whataboutism-er. [/quote]

It is relevant. His democrat opponent sent his kids to the most expensive and ultra elite school in virginia (more elite than Little Langley, more expensive and harder to get into). He had choice for his kids due to the amount of money he has, and exercised that choice. And, his policy proposal is not to give parents public school choice options outside their zipcodes, and not to give vouchers for privae schools.  I think that is very apalling, and very very elite.

That’s not how public school works in this country - no one is owed vouchers or “public school choice.”  You go to the public school to which you are assigned or test in to a magnet. That is our public school system. If you don’t like it, it’s on you to find an alternative. Stop promoting the notion that you are OWED anything beyond a free education for your kid in the public school system. That’s not how it works.

Taxpayers shouldn't subsidize private school. Despite what the entitled private school elites may try to sell the masses.

Taxpayers are already funding the public school system, whether they send their kid to public school or to private, or to neither.

So, when a family is paying taxes, some of that is going to public schools. Families should have the right to not pay their share of taxes intended for public schools if they are choosing private. Basically that is what the voucher is. It is what the family paid in taxes for the public school, but then is taking that money back and giving it to private school to pay for some part of the tuition. That is a choice that is very reasonable. There is nothing elite about this. [/quote]
