This is a terrible blow to the public school system. They’re going to keep chipping away at public education until only the rich can send their kids to school.

Public funding shouldn't go to private schools. We shouldn't even have private schools.

Now we need to get a law passed that requires all private schools that accept, or have accepted government money to allow in poor kids.
