Not sure about the whole voucher system in the states, but up here in canuck land, independant schools need to follow the standards set by the provincial gov't to get funding, ie a cahtolic shool can receive funding for its students if they teach math, science, social studies, reading and writing a

Without regulation and standards, I think you run the risk of funding a school that could promote hate or other values that don't jibe well with the general populace. Do we allow public funds to be used at a white supremacists school then? I don't see how you make the jump from a "funded k-12 edu

If they are taking federal or local dollars, then they need to be subject to the same requirements and restrictions that public schools are. Otherwise we should just cancel the need for any school to follow any guidelines. If some schools must, all schools must. If some schools don't, all schools

I can't argue that it is illegal for the school to make these rules if it wants to. But I would argue that would be very difficult for the school to enforce, how hard would it be for any student to use a nom-de-plume. I would also argue that while it is not illegal, it is probable not very goo
