Title: Tax Breaks And Vouchers And Free Choice, Oh My Post by: Soldier4Christ on April 21, 2006, 10:47:15 AM I already posted this in "ACLU in the News" but thought it important enough to place it here also so that Parents will get the information.
________________ Tax Breaks And Vouchers And Free Choice, Oh My Congressman Vito Fossella (R-NY) plans to introduce a bill giving parents of children in private and parochial schools a $4,500 tax credit. He is concerned that rising tuition costs are making it difficult for middle and low income families with children in private schools. He also feels, that parents should have a choice about where they send their children to learn. Cue the leftwing nuts who are afraid some child might be learning anything, except how to write essays entitled “Global Warming, George Bush’s Energy Plan” or “Karl Rove and the Halliburton Hurricane Machine,” or reading something other than “The Boy With Two Dads In Bondage.” Their frustration at not being able to control the minds and souls of all our youth are thinly veiled in statements like the following from Donna Lieberman, the executive director of the NYCLU. “It’s a voucher dressed up like a tax credit, and it raises serious concerns about subsidizing private and religious education while undermining our public schools, which are already in duress.” What she’s really worried about is the undermining of the plot to overthrow our way of life, by poisoning the minds and hearts of our children. In private and parochial school there’s a good chance kids are learning moral absolutes and traditional American values. The left is afraid, very afraid. As Lieberman railed on, “The taxpayers should not be supporting religious education. “They should be supporting nonsectarian education.” How else will atheistic socialism triumph? |
