It is my opinion that 95+% of the people advocating vouchers do not give the tiniest shit about improving education in general but are just desperately trying to get around the church-state barrier to funding religious education with public money. They want to fund their sectarian religious school with my money, and I say to hell with them. (Forgive the possible pun.)
