This is nothing more than an attempt to shut down private Christian schools.

If private Christian schools need public funding to survive then they have a shitty business model.

Not putting public money into private institutions is not the same as trying to shut them down.

When we have been funding these schools since the late 1800's and then turn on a dime yes it most certainly is trying to shut them down or at least a total lack of care for the consequences of this action.

No, it's keeping tax money in public schools and out of the coffers of private and religious schools. I don't want my tax money funding a Christian school or any religious school for that matter. If you want a Christian education for your children then you should pay for it. Not tax payers. We can use that money to help fix issues with our public school and give kids a good education.

The tactic is subversive in nature. Sure you can still opt to send your children to private school, but that doesn’t exempt you from paying your taxes that fund public schools. So now you are faced with paying for public school and private school. Most people cannot afford both so they are forced to “choose” public school. Enough people do that and the private school can’t stay open.
It is an excellent reason there should be no “public” money, a.k.a. taxes. Let people pay for where they wish to send their children.
