I guess we disagree over the poor and the rich. I think that people who can afford to pay a portion of a private scool tuition are propably wealtheir than people who can't. I also think that the institutions that run private schools are some of the wealthiest institutions on earth. So you are happy giving money to thos epeopel for specialized education. but your not happy with the givernment spending money directly on sepcialized education. How in the world do you justify it being OK for the governemtn to fund special education, so long as it is funneled through a special interst middleman such as a church, but it's not OK if they spend it directly? THis is where I see a flaw in your logic. I can see the distinction you are making. I have not seen any explanation for that distinction.
