Voucher advocates make an analogy that fits all too well. 

 Why should attorneys be given special legal privileges?

Why public financing of education will compromise private school independence.

Is the market share of education held by universities posed for a long-term decline?

School vouchers transfer money by force, regulate private schools, and are only for the "poor." The facts from IBD.
