Glenn Delk
School vouchers gained attention in 1993 when attorney Glenn Delk, president of Georgia Parents for Better Education, publicized a 1961 law that provided education grants to help families avoid desegregated public schools and attend a public or private school of choice. Section 20-2-640-650 of the Georgia Code specifies that
Every child between the ages of six and 19 years residing in this state...who is otherwise eligible and qualified to attend the elementary and secondary public schools of the local school system wherein such child resides shall, in lieu of attending the public schools of such local school system be eligible to receive an education grant to be expended for the purpose of paying or otherwise defraying the cost of tuition at a nonsectarian private school....
Delk declared that the law “may have been passed for the wrong reasons, but we hope to use it for the right reasons. I think all parents should have a choice about whether they send their children to public or private schools. The people who can benefit the most are those who don’t have a choice--low income black parents.” State officials deemed the law “unusable,” but strong public interest encouraged then-Lieutenant Governor Pierre Howard, a Democrat, to call for special public hearings. In 1997, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that there was no funding mechanism available to provide the vouchers under the old law.

Quotes to Live By
"Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body."
-Philippians 3:17-21
