By the way, I don't object to government subsidizing education.
What I'd like to change is the way in which the subsidy is
distributed. The idea behind the voucher system is to let the
people decide which schools deserve support, rather than
having the decision made by bureaucrats and self-interested
special-interest groups.

I don't see any other way to "cut the Gordian knot" of red-tape
and inefficiency that exists in the public school systems I am
familar with.
