The grave danger of vouchers

The grave danger of vouchers

Many associated with the Mises Institute  have warned of this danger many times, but the closer that vouchers come to reality, the more the private schools themselves are understanding it just as well. See “Private Schools Leery of Voucher Trade-offs“  in the Washington Post. What if schools that refuse to accept them face competitive pressures from those that do? The end result may be that all schools must accept government money to survive. This could be the legacy of the voucher movement, for which it ought to be held accountable by all who are concerned about the need to separate education and the state.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
