Welcome to Parents for Free Choice in Education
Wednesday, 20 June 2007

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 on behalf of school choice by sending a letter to your state representatives
 Thank you again for your interest in 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.
