SCHOOLVOUCHERS

SCHOOL VOUCHERS: Do school vouchers balance the playing field between private and public schools?
And do private schools have a right to part of the education dollar? Opponents of a voucher program argue:
"School voucher programs undermine two great American traditions: Universal public education, and the
separation of church and state." And instead of embracing vouchers, communities across the country should
dedicate themselves to finding solutions that will be available to every American schoolchild, and take into
account the important legacy of the First Amendent." Proponents of school vouchers counter: As tax-paying
Americans all families should have the right to part of the education dollar to off-set the cost of sending their
child to a private school of their choice. and gives poor parents an option of where to send their children to
school, and will also cause public schools to improve their performance." Milton & Rose Friedman, (2010),
