RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Choice Schools/School Vouchers

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Sounds okay to me. The state shouldn't be able to force people to go to
public school, private school, or anything  but if we're all going to pay
taxes for it then people should have the choice. To bad we can't set up a
opensource school and get some of that money ourselves teaching Linux,
PHP, etc. ;)
