education. The program, according to the author, does not give participants a genuine
option and instead sends public funding to private schools, raising concerns about
potential First Amendment violations. Furthermore, because they divert resources and
attract parents and high-achieving students, voucher schemes are thought to have the
potential to be harmful to public schools.
