Guess it depends on how you define "public education."
If you define it as continuing the taxpayer subsidized boondoggle
known as "public schools" - then it would be impossible to make
Govt Schools anymore "iniquitous" then the are today.
To claim that a voucher system supports a "class system" defies reality.
Nothing is more "classist" then the present Govt School System. The children
of the Elite attend excellent private schools. The children of the middle class
generally attend mediocre Govt Schools that are continually declining in the
quality of the eduation offered - at an increasing higher cost per pupil.
The children of the poor attend atrocious Govt Schools - at increasingly
higher per pupil costs. Many of the poor urban areas (Wash. D.C.) have
the HIGHEST per pupil cost then anywhere else in the country.
If you provide public funds to provide private alternatives to the
failing Govt Schools, (at less cost per pupil then Govt Schools)
you provide an opportunity for the poorest kids to have some
hope of escaping the life time sentence of underachievment.
Why do you suppose that the biggest supporters for vouchers
come from the Inner Cities? Generations of kids from the Inner
Cities have been destroyed by Govt Schools.
But then again the Govt School System is a creation of the Corporate State.
The supporters of the Corporate State will fight to the death to preserve it.
