Taxpayer money shouldn't fund religious indoctrination. If parents want faith-based education, they can pay for it themselves—public dollars belong in public schools accountable to everyone.
Parents should control their tax dollars and pick schools that fit their values, not get stuck funding failing public ones.
Is it just that wealth decides a child’s schooling? Means-tested vouchers make access a lottery of income, whereas education should be a universal public good accessible to all.
Reason governs the common good. If means-tested vouchers let poor families choose schools that cultivate virtue, public funds advance justice, not indoctrination.
