If we’re going to be taking tax dollars anyway to pay for education, I honestly don’t care what type of school they go to as long as the family gets to make that choice. My bet is it probably would be a funnel for religious schools initially and controversially, but it would also open up opportunities for secular private schools to enter the market down the line.
Given that I have no idea what definition of extremism you’re using, I’m going to sidestep that one.
But I can put this out there: I’m not particularly happy about my money going towards religious schools either, but I have known many people in my life who have gone to such schools who I am happy to have known and their educational upbringing has not been to their detriment to the point that I consider it a non-factor in my view of them so: money follows the child (or some variation thereof) and family picks the schooling. If my money is going to be taken from me to fund any amount of schooling, I am a lot happier with that compromise than I am with my money being used to continue the same kind of public schools I attended in a diminished and uncompetitive educational market.
