Another argument against school vouchers is the concern that private schools (which have the legal right to decide their own curriculum and who they will and will not accept as students in most cases, race being a significant exception) will use the vouchers to accept only high-achieving students of outstanding character (and, in the case of Christian schools, only those who are Christians and hold to the school's specific doctrinal position), leaving the public schools "saddled" with the responsibility for non-Christian students and Christian students holding to differing doctrinal views, students with learning disabilities and students who would pose "disciplinary risks" (the latter being very loosely defined depending on whether the Christian school wants a student or not; school voucher opponents claim that this is used as a backdoor method of rejecting students based on race).

School vouchers are also generally opposed among [[fundamentalist]] Christian groups, on the belief that once a school begins taking government money, it allows the government a potential legal right to dictate to the school (and possibly, where applicable, the school's sponsoring church) what it can and cannot teach (and preach) on certain issues, especially on hot-button topics such as [[abortion]] and [[homosexuality]].
