(Reuters) - Louisiana is embarking on the nation's boldest experiment in privatizing public education, with the state preparing to shift tens of millions in tax dollars out of the public schools to pay private industry, businesses owners and church pastors to educate children.
Starting this fall, thousands of poor and middle-class kids will get vouchers covering the full cost of tuition at more than 120 private schools across Louisiana, including small, Bible-based church schools.
The following year, students of any income will be eligible for mini-vouchers that they can use to pay a range of private-sector vendors for classes and apprenticeships not offered in traditional public schools. The money can go to industry trade groups, businesses, online schools and tutors, among others.
Every time a student receives a voucher of either type, his local public school will lose a chunk of state funding.

"Each lesson consists of an instructional DVD that intersperses Biblical verses with subjects such chemistry or composition."
"And when we shine the ultraviolet waves upon the atoms of the rocks, Jesus (PBUH) flicks the electron of the atom out to the next electron shell, and the result we see is called fluorescence, and the rock glows!! Praise God!!"
