Zachkessin: there is a simple reason, there are about 15 catholic schools in nyc. They are going bankrupt. If they close, we are talking maybe 15 kids per local school, as they are bussed from all over. Whereas yeshivos are all in the the same 3 neighberhoods for the miost part. We are talking thousands of kids per local school. There is no way in gods green earth the system could handle that type of influx at once.
As for seperation of church and state, you are regurgitating liberal nonsemse. The state isn’t picking a religion. Vouchers are used in about 17 states. Its fine.
