Wtf is Ed choice. Oh. another ‘only American’/scholarship-rewarding-elites thing again. You’re using ‘many’ very liberally.

A way to divert money from public sector to scumbags in private sector who won't follow any of the government regulations or take underperforming students.

Private schools can fire someone for being LGBT, public schools can't. Private schools can share private medical information with parents (like being LGBT) or seeking birth control, public can't except under very regulated conditions. Private schools can get out of teaching evolution and sex ed, public schools can't. The list goes on and on. Public funding of private schools breaks a century of progress. We are going to see a brave new world with football couches and school admins making millions while teachers are making daycare worker salaries teaching from books based on a prot understanding of the bible.

What you said sounded wrong, so I asked the AI about it. I know the AI is wrong sometimes, but doesn’t this seem more like the truth than what you said about private schools firing people for being LGBT?

In the United States, federal law protects employees from discrimination based on their sexuality. The Supreme Court ruled in June 2020 that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on sex, also covers sexual orientation and gender identity. Therefore, it is illegal to fire someone for being gay.

Religious schools do not have to conform with non-discrimination laws.
