What Makes Them Controversial?

• Violate the Establishment Clause
• Steal From Public Schools
• Vouchers Promote Segregation

5
Do Not Violate Establishment Clause

• Parents choice if they choose to send their child
  to a private school
• Parents are supporting religion not the
  government

6
Do Not Steal From Public Schools

• Not every child can fit into the public school
• Public school still would get the majority of tax
  money

7
Do Not Promote Segregation

• Private schools without vouchers tend to promote
  segregation because only people of certain
  economic statuses
• Vouchers would give almost everyone an
  opportunity to go to private schools therefore
  they would be desegregated

8
Why the Voucher System Makes Sense

• Parents should decide where to send their
  children for school
• Not every child is right for public schools
• Parents should use their tax money as they choose

9
Parents Choice

• Parents have a responsibility to raise their
  children how they see fit
• Parents should be able to send their children to
  whatever school they choose
• We have given parents this right
• We should limit families based on money

10
Not Everyone Fits

• Not every child will adapt to public school
  settings because of
• Moral Issues
• Socialization
• Larger Class Sizes
• If someone can meet their potential at a
  non-public school they should not be limited
  based on money

11
Tax Money

• Parents are forced to pay educational taxes even
  if they do not send their child to public schools
• Shouldnt that money that they have to pay go to
  their childs education if possible
• Like double paying
• Pay Taxes
• Pay Tuition

  education that is

  used
