From 1776 to
1918, this nation (as a whole) did not have forced public education. Just read American authors from the 1600’s or
1700’s to prove to yourself that they were well educated.
President
Obama said “… I believe in parents being able to provide children with
religious instruction without interference from the state.” If so, he should support school choice
(vouchers, home schooling etc.).
Horace Mann,
the prime mover behind public education, died in the same year Darwin’s
masterpiece was published è 1859! Mann
based his ideas on the Prussian model and was enthusiastically supported by the
Unitarians. This Statist educator
rejected miracles and adopted Natural Theology while denying Biblical
Christianity. [1] There is even evidence
of demonic influence. [2] Samuel
Blumenfeld has written a groundbreaking book on this topic, Is Public Education Necessary?

Vouchers will eliminate choice in a short time, because with the money will come the same restrictions hurting the public schools, such as Common Core. You take the money, it will be crammed down your throat.
Not only that, but if vouchers are legalized, private schools who don't want to take the vouchers, for fear of the controls and CCSS, will not be able to compete with those who do take the voucher, effectively running them out of business.
So in the end private schools who take the voucher will be no different than the public schools except in who owns the building (just like Holland and Sweden) and the others will be out of business. At that point there will be NO CHOICE!
