Hey Dave, how you doing?
Minorities looking for a better future? I don't know about that here
in NC. Those championing that cause here are either fundamental
christians (bible beaters) or affluent (mostly white) people who don't
want their children attending public schools. For several reasons.
Private schools here are very expensive. Whether children receive
a better education at these private schools is also a debatable point
since they hire teachers from the same universities that the public
school systems do.
The problem I have with the voucher system proposed here in NC
has to do with the make-up of private schools. Many of them
are religious based. IMHO you have the right to believe in whatever
you want, just don't shove it down my throat or try to convert me.
I do NOT agree with taking any of our tax money to pay or subsidize
a private religious school education. The voucher programs proposed
here were never clear to me on this.
Thomas Jefferson's views on the separation of church and state
are very important to me.
Both of my children attended one of the higher ranked public high schools
here in Raleigh and IMHO received a much better education than I
did back in the woods of WV. So I have not given up on the public
school system here in NC yet. But it can always be improved.
Take care.
Bill
