“What this is really all about, what we are talking about today is allowing poor and moderate income families to make the same and have the same choices in where they send their kids to school as middle and upper income families. I think what we should be doing here today is taking the education dollars that are already being spent and empowering parents all across America to be making the decision for where they send their kids to school. We have a system for higher education in America today called a Pell Grant system. Pell Grants are college scholarships that are literally given to students that go to teacher and pastor training schools, all sorts of different religious schools all across the United States of America. These Pell Grants are not given with strings attached that the government is telling these teacher and pastor training schools for religious institutions across America what or how to teach; they simply give them the Pell Grant.”
