The House voted 65-49 on a measure supporters say represents a home-grown version of a long-divisive issue fueled by out-of-state money.
Rep. Eric Bedingfield, R-Mauldin, said it's about providing parents choices.
"I don't believe education is a one-size-fits-all proposition," he said. He noted students can get lottery-funded scholarships toward tuition at private colleges in the state: "Why shouldn't we give the choices in K-12?"

this should be done nationwide. it's about time...
There is nowhere in this country where people should be forced to pay (via taxes) for union schools when other options are available.
In fact once my kids are out of school, I shouldn't have to pay for it at all.
I'm going to ne 55 this year, never had any children, I think I've paid enough for poor education.
The IRS and states should eliminate exemptions and those with children would owe more in taxes that could be applied to education.
The more people in the household means the need of more government services all the way around.
