DovidBT > School vouchers enable us to reclaim some of our tax dollars

I don’t think there is a strict halachik or “Jewish” view on social issues, we are somewhat pragmatic – whatever works to achieve the right goals, as seen from a sequence of school systems during BM2 as described in Bava Basra. I don’t see how an experiment with vouchers would not be welcome. If results are unfavorable, then the society can always turn around. And US system that allows state experimentation is a perfect place for such pragmatic experiments. So, my only objection is for those who make federal government in charge of everything drastically reducing ability of states to experiment. This applies to education, medicine, welfare, not defense obviously.
