Might want to consider voting in Repub. primary for this :


Republican primary has this on it....


Should Georgia empower parents with the right to use the tax dollars allocated for the education of their children, allowing them the freedom to choose among public, private, virtual, and home schools?


IMO this would devastate public schools.

That's the whole idea. The continued dumbing down of the future prison/slave labor population must proceed.

Meanwhile children of those with means will be sent to expensive private schools, so that in their turn they may govern the prison/slave labor population.

Letting people use tax dollars to be educated at religious schools, where facts and history will be in short supply, is a very good way to do this.

as a "Republican primary " issue?
Or is it just a recommendation for the Georgia Republican platform, etc?
