19. That is exactly it...Private schools are not 'immoral'. Public school are inadequate often

because of property tax funding. There should be state funding across the board. In Ohio, Kasich has cut the state funding for schools and all schools are suffering but the inner city and the poor rural schools fare the worst as they don't have a property tax base to fund the schools. With the GOP packing the courts. I don't see much we can do about it right now. Even in progressive states, the inequality in education is appalling...New York is a great example.
