Lol it's not on there
...I hate this timeline.
They didn't want their kids exposed to radical woke socialist agenda of basic human empathy towards non-whites
OpenSecrets has done a great job for a long time but I fear recent changes in ownership are gonna change that.
Having an option in place when and if that presents with any clarity I hope you see as a step worth taking.
If theres horrific policy unfolding in the US and you blame Milton Friedman, you'll be right more often than not.

By subsidizing private school, the quality of public schools will continue to decline which will be detrimental to all society.
Can’t have segregation anymore?
Just find a workaround just like with all their evils.

What they don't say on their site is it was undoubtedly founded as a segregation academy in response to civil rights advancements at that time.
But to Republicans, taxpayer funded school is socialism, and socialism is bad to them, so they have defunded the D.O.E to make it bad so they can replace it with for profit schools (or "private schools")
They are big mad they can't brainwash kids in them, that advancing education actually reduces their voter base, and that their members own these schools so its functionally buying votes by giving them free money.
Coined from Hegseth's book.
Its corruption not ideological.
My statement was looking more at the angle of the Propaganda MAGA is being given, which is that anything that is centralized and then distributed by an authority (like taxes) is "evil socialism" and etc.
Which unfortunately covers up the corruption to alot of supporters.
Now, the money situation is worse in red states, for sure, but across the board education in the U.S has been financially strangled by conservatives. I watched it happen to my district.
I’m against public funds for private schools. That said, my family sent one of three children to private, Catholic High school.
In comparison, I think his education was better, with less trouble, but I do ask why, and how he retained more friendships after high school.
Since the rise of the internet, a majority of them have been purchased by RW conglomerates. Mine was. They keep a small team of local reporters to cover your area, and the rest is syndicated from reporters/agencies with a RW bent.

One thing you can say for the evil creeps--they've had a plan, and they have been executing it methodically & patiently across many years--in earnest since Reagan. They got radio, local TV news stations thru Sinclair, & local papers. And now they have the big papers, cable news, & the web.
