If authority doesn't tell people what to do some people might do bad things? I don't give a shit. This is a anarchy forum. Go to chapo.chat if u wanna get people to agree with u on this we need authority or people will make bad choices.

What does anarchy have to do with the government paying people to send their kids to Christian schools?

Mate this isn't a "people need authority or they'll make bad choices" thing. That's not true. What is happening, that you seem to ignore, is that this results in people not just being given the option of making a bad choice, but being forced into it. So the alternatives are being forced to make a good choice, or forced to make a bad choice. Yes, in an ideal world they wouldn't be forced either way, but this isn't a matter of idealism. It's a matter of practicality, and personally, I prefer forcibly helping people rather than forcibly hurting them.

I reread the article twice. I actually was initially wrong as it doesn't decrease limits on what kinda school people can go to. It's literally just a welfare program to financially support people to go to different schools or be homeschooled.

I don't know if that's worse. Imagine thinking ur being forced into a bad choice because the government gives individuals money. What is raddle anti poor people getting welfare now lol. God damn

Did you miss the whole part where if six or seven parents choose to take part in this program, it changes class sizes from 25 to 40? While it is welfare, it's taking money away from others who probably need it more, who definitely need it more if you can afford to use $7,000 to send your kid to private school. I wouldn't say this is anti poor people getting welfare, I'd say I'm anti rich people getting welfare, and also anti poor people getting shafted by said rich people. Which is literally what teachers in the article are saying will happen.

Never been there lol, and saying that I have doesn't strengthen your argument or take away from mine. You can try to ignore facts for as long as you like, but I guess if this really is becoming law then we'll see how it turns out in a year or two. For everyone's sake, I hope that you're right and that this is a good thing, but I remain extremely skeptical.

And this isn't even a case where decentralization helps anyone that aint a white upperclass kid. We both know this so parents could force more propoganda down their kids throats while giving an out so poor families can make their kid work for extra cash
