SB 2, 2nd Reading Amendment No. 39

This amendment to SB 2 strikes the section of the bill providing protection for the autonomy of education providers (for example, the religious liberty of private schools and the private schools' ability to conduct their admissions as they see fit). YCT favors increasing parental choice in education, preferably through the implementation of universal education savings accounts in which funding follows the student to the education services of his or her parents’ choosing. This amendment, by allowing for the regulation of the things that make private schools unique from public schools and from each other, makes parents' options much less meaningful.
