It is not “conservative” at all to destroy Indiana’s constitutionally mandated system of traditional public schools. These numbers lay bare the Indiana legislature’s radical agenda, funded by Bill Gates and other Mind Trust super-wealthy donors. Shocking.
You are mistaken, the voucher program is funded by me and you, and all Indiana tax payers.
No Dan–you are mistaken. Grossly.
IF Indiana wants to hand out money to everyone for vouchers, and IF they can do that without draining the Public Ed Fund, so be it. But that’s not what’s happening.
Private schools are not mandated by law. Public Ed is.
What Indiana is doing is shameful.
The headline should read “As expected, voucher program is just a tax break for the rich”.
This is exactly what has happened in ALL of the states that have expanded their school voucher programs.

I want ALL parents to be able to send their children to the school of THEIR choice!! By the way, a family of four with gross income of $200,000 is not ‘WEALTHY”! This article neglects what these families are paying in property taxes to prop up the woke, ineffective, “hate-America” agenda of so many school systems!
The public school system is terrible and needs to be torn down.
Give each parent a $7,000 voucher for each child to help pay for the education they want for their child be it from a “public school” or a faith-based private school!
Put kids and parents first and screw you public school system!!!!
The voucher program has also greatly benefited poor and middle class
families. Families that should not be trapped in bad schools because
of their zip codes.
Second, why should wealthy families be exempt when they paythe bulk of the
taxes already in the local school districts. Shouldn’t they benefit also??
I know many upper class families that pay through through the nose to
send their children to private schools. Usually religious affiliated schools.
The point is, working hard and playing by the rules should not be a negative.

You are absolutely correct.
John: I am unhappy with the allocation of public road money, and demand that the street in front of your house be defunded proportionately. Give that money to me. I can better decide what’s good for me.
In terms of public funds allocation and the law–that’s the exact same (unreasonable) argument you just made regarding public ed funds.
IF your child’s legitimate needs aren’t being met by your public school, you have long had the right to seek another public school for those needs. And since 1977, if those needs are in the Special Ed arena, you’ve had portable federal funds and rights. But please consider this:
If you ever want to sell your home, the buyers might want the local public schools assigned to your property. How do you think the school physical plant and staffing needs of your future homeowners will be met? Do you think that building(s) and staff magically fell out of the sky, only to be used by folks who approve of the current public school budget?
We’ve allowed the legislative supermajority to redefine the public’s expectations and demands of public schools. We will pay for that…for decades.
The sobering fact is that public education is a colossal failure in the three basic, reading, writing and arithmetic!
Vouchers (tax payers money) should be utilized where students can learn to count change and tell time (non digital) by the time they are in high school!
If that is private schools so be it, parents who can should home school if you want a world class education you children deserve to succeed!
