All your examples are people that paid for the option themselves unlike school choice advocates who want public dollars given to them. You can add Virginias GOP Governor Youngkin who is pay $36k a year for his child and didn't he run on parents rights in Public Education....

If a parent wants to send their kid to a private religious school, they should go for it. But the should not expect the taxpayer to foot the bill.
If a child has a special education need that cannot be addressed at their local public school, tuition at the private school works for me. But that private specialty school such as those that teach dyslexic kids the to read sound reasonable. Those privates getting tax money need annual audits. A couple times a years we in Houston learn about Charter schools using state money to buy planes or pay relatives of the minister huge sums for serving on the board.

To be fair, the voucher program is still cheaper than public schools. Homeschooling is practically free in comparison.

The taxpayer is already footing the bill for education. The state of Florida averages about $10k per-pupil for K-12. Which means the $8,000 voucher saves the taxpayer about 20%.
The national average for K-12 is about $12.6k a year, and for New York state it is $25k per year. The objection to the voucher program is not about government spending(which would be lower under the voucher program). Leftists are just angry because they can't indoctrinate children in government schools. They know if people were given a choice, no one would choose their indoctrination centers.

So the cost savings justifies the graft, as the linked article states and homeschooling is a personal choice not a panacea for all the perceived ills of public education. Lets not use NY as an example, they are being strangled by their Teacher Unions which are taxing authorities and abusive we could have a very lengthy discussion on it.
The taxpayer is footing the bill for many things including the mounting legal bills that the Florida Governor is racking up with his vendettas against free speech and elected officials....
Please get off this "indoctrination" rhetoric because schools teach many things and its only become an issue because the far right is pushing the narrative. The new fear is my child will be taught, read, told or exposed to something that I as a parent don't like, oh well then raise them in an echo chamber and don't be surprised when they finally are exposed to the real world and go into shock.....

The taxpayer shouldn't have to foot the bill for anyone's kid. You want to have kids, you should pay for their education. Especially the current public school system, which is filled with Marxist activists who are more interested in indoctrinating kids than educating them.
If the teachers are any good, they can get jobs in the private sector tutoring kids. Defund public schools.

Oh please, this issue really has nothing to do with taxpayer money. The same people complaining about tax payer money going to charter schools have no problem with wasting billions of tax dollars on non-citizens illegally coming into the county and into the schools.
This is really about the teachers union trying to shut down any competition or educational options for families to their public-school monopolies.
When a drag queen is a principal of a school , it's about time that parents have school choice.
