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 academic achievement and 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).

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 "cherry pick" only certain students it wants, leaving the rest to "failing" public schools (if homeschooling is not a viable option for the parents).  Among concerns are:

*The majority of private schools - especially non-sectarian ones - bill themselves as "college preparatory".  As such, students with learning disabilities are often rejected for enrollment; very few private schools are geared toward students with special education needs.

*Christian schools generally require that, at a minimum, the parents agree that their child(ren) will be taught Christian doctrine as the school practices it.  This could be an issue, for example, if the school is Catholic and the parents are raising their child(ren) as Evangelical.

**Some Christian schools - especially those operated by fundamentalist churches - go further and require that at least one parent be a "Christian" as the school defines such.  If the parents are Catholic, and the school is run by an [[Independent Baptist]] church, the student likely will be rejected, as IFB churches do not consider Catholics to be Christians, due to significant differences in beliefs.  (Some go even further and require students at a certain grade level to be Christians themselves, again as the school defines such.)

*Another concern is that some schools will reject a student who would pose a "disciplinary risk" (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 (outside of, possibly, a few "token" minority children so as to give the appearance of integration.
