If you’re unemployed, what are you going to use to find a job? You’re probably checking your Gmail account while searching potential employers on Google. Then you’re using Google Maps to get directions to your interviews.

If your family of four has come upon tough times, are you going to spend $50+ to take the kids to a movie or $20 to buy the DVD — or are you going to sign up to Netflix (up 257% from a year ago) for $8/month and get unlimited movies?

This is an oversimplification, sure. But there’s plenty of money to be made when times are tough.

[quote=jstoesz][quote]Can poor families choose who educates their children? Or does the current system make private schools cost prohibitive for the poorer classes?[/quote][/quote]

Again, I think you’re conflating two separate issues. I don’t know enough about the voucher system to comment on the above, but religion being taught in schools is a separate matter.

Are you taking the position that poor people who want their children educated in scripture are unable to get them said education because of their economic status? Because they can’t afford expensive private parochial schools without a voucher system? Isn’t that what churches and Sunday school are for? Why are the vast majority of churches are in lower-income areas? I think we both know the answer to that.

[quote=jstoesz]afx114, I am sure you could answer your own question or just refer to a previous posts. Do you disagree with promoting school choice, or are you just putting out snark for fun?[/quote]

My response was in respect to religion in schools. I was in complete agreement with your statement: “If you don’t like religion being taught in schools, don’t send your kid to a parochial school…If you want religion in schools, send your kid to a parochial school.” Although I suppose in my case, I would replace “parochial school” with “church.” Or home-school.

Just trying to keep the thread on topic.

[quote=jstoesz]If parents have choice, this debate about religion in schools in unnecessary. If you don’t like religion being taught in schools, don’t send your kid to a parochial school…If you want religion in schools, send your kid to a parochial school. This is the beauty and simplicity of freedom. And this freedom does not infringe on anyone else’s freedom![/quote]

Isn’t this what we have now?
