So, you would support a constitutional change that expressly addressed this towards school choice?
The opposite.
The state constitution requires every child to be provided an education regardless of disability and regardless of capability.
Private schools specifically exclude children of disability and varying capabilities.
For that single purpose, they should never receive state taxpayer funding.
The entire reason why those tax dollars exist couldn't be more clear when you understand the constitutional requirement that put then there.
It has nothing to do with parents who would send their kids to private school anyway wanting a handout for their private tuition.

I'm laughing at how defensive you are about the public education system.
Where was i defensive about the public education system?
If anything, im defensive about the state constitution and purposeful use of public funds.
I dont see that as exactly the same thing.
Fwiw, I attended public elementary school, private Catholic high school, followed by a public university. I have experience in both worlds. I can be honest about pros and cons.
But taxpayer dollars are designated to education through the state constitution. I dont think the average ranter understands what that means.

I know the private schools have good kids, too. Chase Elliot online schooled through that private school.

They are exactly what a nonprofit should be and worth a tithe.

The county's only private school has had very little growth due to the program and have turned some away, most often because of bad discipline history at the public school.

The private school in the county is where all of the kids who were kicked out of public school go.

There isn't some secret brotherhood that prevents one Muslim nation from invading another.
And it isn't like Iranian backed organizations haven't played havoc in Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria.

Bunch of unpatriotic coward
You are either completely ignorant of history or the worst troll on Earth.
The Navy Preflight Training School was at UGA.
In case you were unaware, pilots had to train before they sacrificed everything for their country and colors during WWII.
Bomber pilots were 50% mortality rates during the war. Only about 24% survived the war without injury or harm.
Schools like Florida weren't good enough for pilots. They trained the rest of the crew during the war.
If your flight attendants couldn't play football, then it probably was a good decision to scrap the team.

I'm still pretty surprised nobody took a late flyer on Dillon. He's been one of most productive receivers year in year out.
Wide receiver in the NFL is another breed of athlete.
I've heard great things about Bell's athleticism (jet sweeps imply that he has the speed).
But really good in college doesn't move the needle against professionals who do not age out after 4 years.
A lot of fans need to reset expectations for wide receiver recruits to the Pros.
And the wording of "school choice" is as good as the Democrats wording for Affordable Care Act and Inflation Reduction Act.
Everyone has a choice where to send their children to school.
The only institution restricting access are the private schools themselves.

Taxpayer dollars shouldn't be going to private schools.
That is ridiculous.
The Louisiana government has a constitutional obligation to educate every student (regardless of disability and/or impairment).
Private schools have no such requirement. As a matter of fact, they pride themselves on their exclusivity (they want to be more exclusive than public schools, otherwise people wouldn't want to send their children there).

But it has something to do with bringing phonics back into the classroom. Apparently that works
It is amazing that Sesame Street was helping all of those years.
The reality is that Sesame Street did such a good job with phonics that the school systems started to remove it from curriculum.
And as tablet toddlers watched less traditional TV, they failed to get the basic instruction that the majority of Americans today grew up with. They weren't watching Sesame Street. And the school system wasn't filling the gap.
The USDOE is one of the worst government agencies ever developed. Most of the "changes" and "guidance" originates there and spreads across the country as evidenced based guidelines.

Settlement Demands: Before the lawsuit was filed, Evan Chandler allegedly demanded $20 million from Jackson to prevent the accusations from going public or being reported to the authorities.
Blackmail is illegal.
Explain why the Jackson team did not pursue a blackmail charge.
It also is not uncommon to sue a legal defense for breach of care/duty.
The Jackson team did not follow up with such a lawsuit after the lawyers/insurance company failed to provide adequate legal defense to protect his assets and reputation.
That legal team conveniently got the criminal case thrown out although that was not their responsibility.

Was the 1993 child molestation lawsuit filed by Jordan Chandler frivolous or malicious?
The classification of the 1993 Jordan Chandler lawsuit as frivolous or malicious is a subject of intense debate, with evidence supporting both perspectives regarding the civil filing and the subsequent criminal investigation.
Lol
You Google search and your Google search included your Google search in the answer.
Look up the definition of malicious lawsuit. It has a specific definition not applicable to Jackson.
Placing malicious intent in front of "lawsuit" is not the same thing as malicious lawsuit.
The same is true for frivolous.
Jackson was dead to rights in the civil trial. The burden of proof is less strict than criminal court and the testimony in civil court absolutely would be very damning in the criminal trial. Of course they settled. And claiming that a $23M payout avoids legal fees is true. But the payout after losing the civil case (again, he was dead to rights) would have been 2 to 5 times that along with a probable jail sentence. The legal fees are peanuts compared to damages.
If he was innocent, you fight that to the end. Trans Union probably also had assets under management which would have been exposed to civil litigation.
