Of course, private schools tend to often pay teachers less and recruit those with certain views. Which explains why the right likes them sooooooo much. The latest backdoor school voucher attempt here in Texas is a bill that would allow Corporations to pay up to half their taxes in the form of donations to provide vouchers or "scholarships" for students to attend charter schools, of their choice.<br /><br />It's interesting that this is basically allowing Corporations the right to direct their taxes in a way that the same people argue is absolutely impermissible when someone might want to not allow their taxes to pay for military spending or such.
