Voters versus Vouchers: An Analysis of Referendum Data.

Menendez, Albert J.

Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n1 p76-80 Sep 1999

The American people do not favor tax support for private or parochial schools. The issue of vouchers has been placed before the electorate 22 times since 1966, and the voters have rejected it 21 times. It makes little sense for state and national legislators to continue to press for unwanted programs. (MLH)
