    Heather,
    Where did you read that I recomment vouchers to escape public schools.
    That was not MY intent at all.
    I was merely recommending that people have a choice. Muslims, Jews,
    Catholics, atheists, etc. do not
    all agree on what should be taught but I believe they have a right to
    raise their children with their value system.
    Vouchers would create a society where people could choose how to educate
    their children. Please do not put words
    or prejudices in my mouth. I teach at a public school and proudly so.
    But I recognize the need to create a
    more just, system where we can freely express our values and convey them
    to our children. I have seen
    public schools at great odds with the values of parents. This is not
    freedom.
