Dude. That's the ####ing problem. Letting them off the hook so they can do more of it is such a failure in government and by voters I can't even comprehend how these are logical positions to argue.
Fix the ####ing public system already, and if they aren't going to do that, vote the mother####ers out! So dumb.

If they fix the public system a huge % of kids will migrate back from private anyway. Tearing down the private system doesn't fix the public system.
And money is fungible. They could use the heritage trust fund money, the coal settlement money, the pipeline money, or any other source of money to fix public education. The small amount of money that goes to private schools isn't enough to fix public education, and is the worst possible source for the money, because it's the only source that comes with increasing the burdens on the system if you take it.
Adding a PST: no new students to manage
Stop wasting money on stupid ideological projects: no new students
Heritage trust fund money: no new students
Cut funding to private school: tons of new students into a system that is already overburdened.
