The fear about voucher programs leading to segregated schools exists because it's happened before. The first state-sponsored voucher programs arose in Southern states as a way to help white families avoid sending their children to integrated schools. The schools were dubbed "segregation academies" and popped up throughout the South.

Can government aid be given to church related schools?

No, church schools are private and taxpayer money can't be given to support a private school. To get around this many states have tried to pass school law allowing vouchers. Originally vouchers came about to address the passage of the Brown v Topeka Schools in the Supreme Court. The ruling made discrimination in education illegal and all white schools had to intergrate. Vouchers were to be given so white only schools could continue without the enrollment of African American children. This would include church schools to use the voucher issued by the state with taxpayer money. The idea of vouchers keeps coming up to use taxpayer money to pay to private church schools so considering the current political system it is possible that in the near future vouchers will be used and the fine line between private and public schools will be blurred, so it is conceivable that taxpayer dollars will be used for private religious schools education.

What are some advantages or disadvantages of vouchers?

Vouchers can provide greater school choice for families, allowing students to attend schools that may better meet their needs, potentially increasing competition and improving educational quality. However, disadvantages include the risk of diverting funds from public schools, which may exacerbate inequities and leave some students with fewer resources. Additionally, vouchers may not cover the full cost of tuition at private schools, limiting access for low-income families. Lastly, there can be concerns about accountability and oversight in private institutions compared to public schools.
