Choose the one that you think is the best answer./BWhen the Georgia legislature passed a private school schol
24、arship program in 2008, lawmakers promoted it as a way to give poor children the same education choices as the wealthy. The program would be supported by donations to nonprofit scholarship groups, and Georgians who contributed would receive dollar-for-dollar tax credits, up to $2,500 a couple. The i
25、ntent was that money otherwise due to the Georgia treasuryabout $50 million a yearwould be used instead to help needy students escape struggling public schools.While the scholarship programs have helped many children whose parents would have to Uscrimp/U or work several jobs to send them to private
26、schools, the money has also been used to attract star football players, expand the payrolls of the nonprofit scholarship groups and spread the theology of creationism, interviews and documents show. Even some private school parents and administrators have questioned whether the programs are a charad
27、e.Most of the private schools are religious. Nearly a quarter of the participating schools in Georgia require families to make a profession of religious faith, according to their Web sites.

30、ith private schools like Gwinnett Christian Academy to solicit donations and determine who will get the scholarshipsin effect limiting school choice for the students themselves. In most states, students who withdraw from the schools cannot take the scholarship money with them.Some of the programs ha
31、ve also become enmeshed in politics, including in Pennsylvania, where more than 200 organizations distribute more than $40 million a year donated by corporations. Two of the states largest scholarship organizations are controlled by lobbyists, and they frequently ask lawmakers to help decide which s
32、chools get the money, according to interviews. The arrangement provides a potential opportunity for corporate donors seeking to influence legislators and also gives the lobbying firms access to both lawmakers and potential new clients. The logical conclusion was that most of the students receiving t
