Thank you for your interest in SCHOOL
CHOICE. The more one learns about this subject, the more one comes to realize
that the time for school choice has come. There is truly no compelling reason to
prevent School Choice from happening, except the strong political opposition
from the education establishment which is bent on preserving their
monopoly. According to former Mayor Bret Schundler of Jersey City, NJ,
this is the only battle which needs to be fought – the political battle.
This particular battle requires voters and voting blocks. Everyone who enlists,
will surely recruit others, for this is the only way we will be able to build
the political base required for achieving choice in
education. |
New Jersey parents who choose private or religious education for
their children are compelled to pay three times for education! Their local
property taxes – the highest in the country – pays for their local
schools. Their substantial state sales and income taxes are allocated to pay for
pre-school through HS in the 31 Abbott Districts. The third time they pay is by
way of ever-rising tuition costs for their own children. How are families to
survive the unconscionable burden of having to pay three times for
education? To win the school choice battle we must also become familiar
with the arguments being put forth by school choice opponents. Please see
attached article, “Debunking the anti-school-choice
myths.” | | You can take immediate action

school choice, and on behalf of the countless children and parents who will
benefit from your efforts, please be assured that your every act to further this
great cause is most appreciated. | David Tawil , co-founder Maurice Hedaya , co-founder Ben-Gurion Matsas , co-founder | |
