Public money should not go to students attending Catholic and Lutheran elementary and high schools but it's OK if public money like Pell Grants goes to students attending Mormon universities like BYU.
When was the last time a BYU student was cited for truancy? Pell grants and vouchers are not the same thing. Every child who is not currently attending a private school or poor would be eligible for some taxpayer assistance to attend a private school in Utah with vouchers. Pell grants are more limited as to who is eligible. And to those who are choosing to attend college, not to those required by the state to attend some form of K-12 education.
Personally the religious indoctrination is less bothersome to me than the edubusinesses who hope to capitalize on our children if the voucher law is enacted. I also think Rob said what he meant to say, not what 7:27 meant for him to say.
The "choosing to attending college" and the "required to attend K-12" distinction justifies the K-12 voucher more than the Pell Grant, not the other way around.
If the state constitution entitles a student to a subsidized K-12 education and requires a student to attend, then a K-12 voucher should be funded before Pell Grants.
And why does the truancy distinction justify the Pell Grant but not the voucher?
The Pell Grant may be more limited than the K-12 voucher, but that distinction doesn't invalidate the comparison. At least with the K-12 voucher, the money has to be spent on tuition. Pell Grants can be spent on anything.

Public money shouldn't go towards private academies.

No, that is not what I'm saying.

Apples and oranges.
It appears that Anon knows the difference and only wants to irritate everyone on this blog.
