Indiana's Republican leadership is pushing ahead with a proposal that would be the nation's broadest use of school vouchers, allowing even middle-class families to use taxpayer money to send their kids to private schools.
Unlike other systems that are limited to lower-income households, children with special needs or those in failing schools, this one would be open to a much larger pool of students, including those whose parents earn up to $60,000 a year. And within three years, there would be no limit on the number of children who could enroll.

With less students in the public school system, they'll need fewer teachers. Private schools already have a merit based system...and no unions.....
Since it can apply to everyone...it's equal.....
School vouchers on a broad scale will be the death of teachers unions-- that's why you'll likely never see them.
1020-That's why I support vouchers. Why feed the beast that is the public school system(and their unions), when you can send a kid to a school who's teachers are evaluated based on performance, rather then seniority. It takes the power away from the unions, which is why the democratic party has had a unified front against vouchers.
Right, 11:37.
So you have to ask yourself.. "If this goes through, how will the dems sabotage it?"
You know they will.
Finally someone who thinks more about educating the students than feeding the union led, poorly achieving public school system.
