Time for vouchers

It seems that now would be the time for school vouchers. By giving the vouchers to the children, there would be no separation of church and state involved. I know there are many World War II veterans who took advantage of the GI Bill of Rights. That is one of the reasons our country is so great now: diversified education.

(Church/state separation is widely misunderstood, but that's a post for a different day.) Could a G.I. take his education voucher to Notre Dame? Can a Medicare patient get served in a church-supported hospital? Of course...
