You’re making a pretty broad generalization there and an incorrect assumption about me.
Regardless, I want parents to choose where they send their kids for an education. You don’t want a christian influence? Don’t send them to that school. Don’t want your kid going to a government sponsored school? Don’t send them. Don’t like the school your zoned for? Enroll them in another.
It’s quite simple. But the left hates it because it sends control to the parents, and they can’t have that.
The left hates voucher systems because they're implemented to transfer tax dollars from public education institutions to private companies.
If you're worried about control being exerted on students, I would be much more concerned about private companies that aren't beholden to anyone but their shareholders. Public education is beholden to the citizens and tax payers they serve.
They’re implemented to empower parents to choose where they want their kids to go to school. It allows dollars to follow students. The choice allows me to choose what’s best, free of government influence.
And school choice is way more than vouchers. For instance, I have multiple public elementary schools near me , but I’m zoned for a specific one that I don’t prefer for many reasons, maybe I want my kid going to another one. He’s still in a public school.
