Send in your comments on school vouchers. Today. Deemed the greatest civil rights challenge of our time. Send to here: [email protected] Here are my comments. Taking strength and support from public schools and replacing those classrooms with for profit institutions that will not be regulated is not a solution to the many problems of making all of our children the best they can be. An America that does not stand together as one for all of our children will soon be no America at all. Do not think for profit schools will not discriminate to optimize their student selection. Such discrimination would be critical for their success. For good reason, no other state has allowed vouchers for the entire school population. Vouchers will segregate neighbors in Alaska. Segregation in our neighborhoods will make us weaker and cause more crime. Churches tend to to be much much more segregated than public schools. Would you buy an untested car that you would never be able to return nor replace. Please recognize how significant and irreversible this decision will be. Making for profit schools does not in any way mean better schools. Parents can be attracted to profit schools by misleading advertising and kickbacks. Parents in churches will be under plenty of pressure to send their children to the church school to make the school and the church more viable. Schools without regulation and teachers without credentials will not create better schools. Money will end up in the wrong pocket. Corruption will have greater opportunity. Without advocacy from parents that choose vouchers public schools will not retain even baseline funding and will fail. The spirit de corps of teaching as a profession will be lost. Synergy is lost. Community pride is lost. Teaching schools will be less well funded, educational research will wane. Without a sense of pride and community service why would a person choose to teach. Do not fail to realize the unintended harm that this legislation creates. Rod McCoy
