They don't want kids getting "confused" by evolution.
The school willing to accept the most voucher students -- 314 -- is New Living Word in Ruston, which has a top-ranked basketball team but no library. Students spend most of the day watching TVs in bare-bones classrooms. Each lesson consists of an instructional DVD that intersperses Biblical verses with subjects such chemistry or composition.
Well that's certainly going to be useful in getting a job or adopting a trade.

LOL, you know, it's crap like this that gives privitization a bad name... Yes, I am inclined to speculate that this is not entirely accidental. It's still public funds going to subsidise things which otherwise wouldn't be funded.

Upgrading the socialist schooling model to the fascist schooling model. That is change I can believe in.
Why, really why public schools exist. My only fear is that the Establishment is allowing this to go forward as a poison-pill. "Remember what happened when Louisiana tried privatizing education?? What a disaster!"
