Louisiana Makes Bold Bid To Privatize Public Education
Reuters  |  Posted: 06/01/2012 6:04 pm Updated: 06/03/2012 10:02 pm


June 1 (Reuters) - Louisiana is embarking on the nation's boldest experiment in privatizing public education, with the state preparing to shift tens of millions in tax dollars out of the public schools to pay private industry, businesses owners and church pastors to educate children.

Starting this fall, thousands of poor and middle-class kids will get vouchers covering the full cost of tuition at more than 120 private schools across Louisiana, including small, Bible-based church schools.

The following year, students of any income will be eligible for mini-vouchers that they can use to pay a range of private-sector vendors for classes and apprenticeships not offered in traditional public schools. The money can go to industry trade groups, businesses, online schools and tutors, among others.

Every time a student receives a voucher of either type, his local public school will lose a chunk of state funding...............................>>>>........................>>>>...........................http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/01/louisiana-makes-bold-bid-_n_1563900.html

until it turns into the same system (and it will) of the elbow rubbing collegiate of student loans vs fund raisers for 'good causes'.......

hope we have learned our pill box lesson


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
