I agree with most of what you said but using current law, a private school that is fully funded by public funds is labeled as a public school which is governed by the board of education or in NYC the Dept. of Education.
As I said before a tax credit program witch the yeshiva tuition is paid back to the parent as a tax refund is the way to go. But although Dov Hikind and Simcha Felder fought to have it included in this year’s NY State budget for a mere $500.00 per student it didn’t pass.
You say “The government cannot interfere with parents schooling choices or methodologies.” The state has the right to regulate that secular studies that are taught in yeshivas. This is the purpose of this thread.
I also disagree with your comments “All Taxpayers” are you saying non-taxpayer children are not entitled to an education or not entitled to school choice?
As far as getting the government out of the education business it is not going to happen, The unions are too strong to get this passed at least not in NY State.
