Surprised....
....
that Circuit Court Judge L. Ralph Smith, Jr.
used the 1998 voter-approved revision to the Constitution to slam the
door closed on voucher-aided school choice?
We’re not.
Revision #6 handed over to the State the full responsibility (paramount
duty) of making all decisions for all of Florida’s school-age children.
Since no two entities can simultaneously hold such power, this further
squelched the rights of families who would rather it be themselves deciding what
their children will know and be able to do.
This could affect any means by which parents attempt to have some say in
these matters, including home-schooling and charter school innovations.
We advised voting against this revision in our Fall 1998 newsletter.
