[Tax-funded propaganda instead of teaching] “Struggling Indiana public school districts are buying billboard space, airing radio ads and even sending principals door to door in an unusual campaign aimed at persuading parents not to move their children to private schools as the nation’s largest voucher program doubles in size. The promotional efforts are an attempt to prevent the kind of student exodus that administrators have long feared. If a large number of families abandon local districts, millions of dollars could be drained from the state’s public education system.”
