Con: Plan erodes public education By Alex Uo Although Congress hu denied attempt* to give tax break* to parents of private school students. Pretkleot Ronald Reagan still continue* to Gy to have the plan pau* eJ. 11M Reagat. Admlrlstratlon haft conttBocd to support the plan, despite strong opposition, la fact. Republican* have supported such an Idea Iu 1973. 1978, 1981. and 1982, and there U talk of resume ting a blU attain In 1984. Scatter Eroeit P. Hollings, one of tuition tax credit'* most outspoken opponents, estimated that U the plan proposed In 1982 west paued. the U.S. govcrncccnt mold have tost at least *4 bUlloa In revenue. "It is the duty of all individuals to suppon. public education." — Senator Ernest F. Hollings "That's jutt a tout In the door, though." said Holllngi. He predicts that if U c precedent b srt for suppontJg tultion-bawd schools, public school* would start charging tuition so ihey would receive additional federal subsidies. Thomas Shannon, executive director of the National School Boards Association, wrote that If the pUn were to pass, private tennis would rccrirc more per student than public school*. -Proponents are seeking a max> Imura credit of SSCO. and that's only /or openers; this compares with direct federal expenditures of fos than 1U5 per pupU In the public schools," wrote Shannon. Today, In oof pluralistic and culturally an* racially diverse n»lion, public school* need straightening - and certainly not ti* weakening that goes with any tuition tax proposfl." In 1978, President Jimmy Carter's Atlcrnev General Griffin 83II (citing pro^nis Suprenc Court decisions) concluded that the tultfcn tax credit bill proposed by Senators Moynihan and Packwood was unconstitutional. "Not onJy would ibe credits benefit Hi itutlons whose rule Is to rmphastxe religious training and beliefs." wreti Bell, "but Ihey would also benefit sectarian KhooU In significantly tarter schools." About 90 percent of all private schools are associated with chur* chrs. raatf with the Catholic church. The First Amendment pro* • hiblls the government from Involving itself In church education," stated Hollings. Tiw Supreme Court has not yet addressed the issue, but it did ccn* firm the decision of a lowei co*irt. In Draw* r. Sute of Missouri. pannU of several private xhool students sought to have declared unconstitutional a provision of tht Missouri Constitution prohibitisft state aid to non-public schools. Their caw was that it **as in violation of the "free exercise" clause of the First Amendment. The lower court stated, "A parent's right to choose a religious privi't Khool for his children mar not be equated with a right lo in* sat that the stele is compelled to finance his child's non-public lcbocl education In whole or in part In order that he may obtain a religious educatioi. ." II the tuition tax credit plans wen passed and enacted into law, there would be many questions about what would happen, including "Where do we get the money? From the public schools?" "Public education Is the keystone of our democratic government." said HoUIngs. "and it Is the duty of all wdit*M.uaU...to support It. Thi* tuition-credit nropotal would instead materially contribute to the final demise of public education by starting us off on a taogen of financing private schools." hs claimed • PING YUEN DRUG STORE FHARMACY . fOOD Ph*rm*ey P#i-t 433-1357 Fobd'Dept 962-1613 Calvin Chow Alice Twt Kam Wong Pro: Proposal cushions tuition costs By I row ishlnar* Tuition tax credits could Improve the standards cf elementary and secondary schools as well as provide reUet to mkMle Income families struggling to meet fitful tuition costs. A tuition tat credit would make a private school education more cqultahle with publtc school education. Individual* would be free to choose for themselves and their children the type o! edu *• Uon that t*wy desire at the tchoou and colleges they select without baring to preoccupy tbemiclvet with serious monetary concerns. Merc children *ould be encoonjtcd to atteo*l private schools which would In turn offset the over crowded classrooms that occur In rub Ik schools. Public school classroom sixes would decrease as a result of tower public school enrollment. Smaller classroom sizes in public school would Improve teaching effectiveness. Private schools wuuld be able to succeed, and public schoo'% would be able 10 stabilize their rising costs. Although the middle class would benefit much from the tuition tax credit. It it not the only grcup that will. Some rataoriiy groups w^uld also benefit from tuition tax credits, lax credits would allow mlnorily groups to place their children In private schoob U tUy so desire wlthou. havinc »° wdgb monetary cuncerov so biavtly. Tax crcdiu would only be granted to those studentt who attend • nondlKriubutory school which bad been ccrtlfUd as such by the Internal Revenue Servk*, therefore guarding against iette«ated private schools. The Is- ue of tuition tax credits b not the first in federal «*uc* tnjo to involve the Intcnuliinal Revtflue Code of the Committee oo llnarce because publtc schools have for a long time received federal Jld an* tax breaks from the government. The federU government's first responsibility Is to the public tchools, but It also has a respon- Ability to taxpayers who send children to privitv schooU. "To deny flaanclal aid...and thereby make It more difficult for Cww to obtain the education they seek for their families is to submit to paternalism and to station." stated Senator Daniel P. Moynihin, regarding private education. Although elementary and lecon* go to colkge and university students and their famUies. Tuition tax credits would allow Individuals and famllks to retain a tittle more of 1 ei Income at a time *Iten ttr are -nost pressed for sno*M7 f> . college -osts. The tuliloa tav credit propotaT would Insure (hat every dollar of basic grant or supplementary grant aid • student receives It actually nib* traded from the tax credit for which he would olherwbe be eligible, Any supplementary funds a studeoj receive* reduces the rto- >tit'i eligibility. Fur those with vcty low Incomes, ttw grant programs are more useful thftn tax credits, but for millions not eligible for grant aid. the lax credit wouid be helpful. "It has been charged that students and families will not retain the benefit of the tax credits, the theory apparently being that colleges and universities will boost their tultloa charges so as to 'capture* Ibe additional resources." said Moynlhan. "This, however. Is not true. Schools that try to exploit tuition tax cixdlts by boosting their tuition will find It difficult to attract students to their Institution." With rising tuition cuts, it is becoming room aaJ more difficult to circumvent monetary problems. A tuition tax credit would provide additional government approved relief to those who formerly would not qualify for sutn.
