I recently heard Grover Norquist speak and he stated it is only right all the educational monies collected in taxes be refunded to parents to decide about their children's education.
Norquist is a member of "Parentalrights.org." The organization wants an Amendment to the US Constitution.

If there were a recipe for creating a new conservative culture-wars issue, (click here) it might look something like this: Start with the United Nations, fold in the prospect of an expanded role for government in children’s lives, add some unfortunate court decisions, then toss in Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton.
And indeed, when House Republicans recently found themselves with all these ingredients at hand, Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) started pre-heating the oven.
Hoekstra last week introduced a bill in the House to amend the U.S. Constitution to permanently “enshrine” in American society an inviolable set of parents’ rights. The bill had 70 co-sponsors, all Republicans, including Minority Whip Eric Cantor and Minority Leader John A. Boehner.
The bill, said Hoekstra, is intended to stem the “slow erosion” of parents’ rights and to circumvent the effects of a United Nations treaty he believes “clearly undermines parental rights in the United States."...
The so called right to choose the school for children is nothing more than a defunding of the public school system. Actually, as the US Constitutional Amendment states, it is about defunding education period. Once the monies collected for a public school system ends, there won't be any pools of money. Supposedly, the monies will go back to the taxpayer to do as they please about educating their children.
When Rick Perry states he is going to dissolve the Secretary o Education position from the President's Cabinet, he means it. The tax relief is cloaked under the politics of "Liberty."
