Publisher Description

When former Arizona state legislator Mark Anderson sponsored a tuition tax-credit law benefitting religious and other private schools in 1997, he claimed it would help the state's poorest kids get into "a better situation." The program was touted by its supporters, including its chief promoter Trent Franks, as a tool to make private education less expensive for parents who could not otherwise afford it. Franks, now a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, drafted the bill while working as a conservative activist. (Franks was the founder of the now-defunct Arizona Family Research Institute, a non-profit associated with James Dobson's Focus on the Family.)
