- However, Craig's point *was* about using tax money for private schools,

- *I'm* impressed. Is there anything else you can do?

- Very good so far.

-
- Same thing. If that private school "education" includes religious
- bullshit, racial bigotry and exclusion, or such other weirdness, then
- that is EXACTLY what I fear about school "vouchers" for private schools.
-
- If such crap is part of ANY school curriculum, private or public, then
- it has no business being supported by taxpayer money.
-
- >Or do you complain about those Pell grants to students attending private
- >universities?
-
- Good point that I can't answer. I hope that Pell grants are awarded to
- private universities, which universities satisfy basic criteria
- eliminating religious indoctrination or racial hatred such as Bob Jones
- University.
-
- If not, then I do indeed have the same objection to Pell grants.
