In addition to this year’s poll, the Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup polls in 1993 and 1995 also asked respondents whether they favored allowing parents to send their children to private schools using public money.
The question: Do you favor or oppose allowing students and parents to choose a private school to attend at public expense?
