Letter: Parochial School ‘Free Tuition’ Not Always Free

To the Editor-
Recent paid advertisements in local newspapers announce “free tuition” to students for several of the local religious, private schools.
This is disingenuous at best but actually false.
While some of the tuition costs for these private schools may be covered by generous donors and thereby actually “free money,” the majority of the “free tuition”, as advertised, is paid for by our local property taxes.
