Vouchers were invented to privatize education

Do you support or oppose parents choosing schools via vouchers?

A: Oppose. Vouchers were invented to privatize education. Let private schools educate in their way those who can afford the tuition. Use money saved from not issuing vouchers to fully fund our public school system.
