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 - at least in theory) 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 - as the school defines them - and who either hold to the school's specific doctrinal position, or at least willing to accept that the school will teach in accordance with its doctrinal views), 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).
