The history of voucher schools (her favorites), is uniformly dreadful, particularly when private schools are not held accountable for students' achievement (as she achieved in Michigan, iirc).

The effect would be dumbing down the school age population on steroids ... through lack of school accountability n a propaganda and fundamentalist Christian driven factless culture. Of course the children of the top .01% would attend their own private schools to prepare them for their glorious tomorrow.
