Texas parents are already finding out. Schools are closing due to lack of funding thanks to the Texas Taliban led by Abbott, and “declining enrollment”, in the fastest growing towns and suburbs in the country. Mommies are all up in the “but we moved here for the schools”. FAFO No vouchers here, yet
The Repubican party has been salivating at the idea of defunind public education and higher education for years. This is not school choice and not what taxpayers had in mind. We need robust support of public educaiton or our country will fail.
The Cav’s winning streak was just broken and now you lay this shit on me!? lol. I’m not surprised, I know every pick is going to be absolutely terrible. It’s being done on purpose.
I'm really hoping to learn more about what this means for those of us with neurodivergent and special-needs kids, IEP/BSP, etc., especially those at public-funded charter schools. Will 1:1 adult supports and other services still be available? Depends on the state, likely?
It brings to this PubSchool advocate's heart so much joy to see so many positive posts on PubEd. It is essential for a well functioning democracy to have educated citizens.
DOE doesn’t allocate money that way. Congress would have to write provisions for vouchers. I thought they’re going to shutter the whole thing anyway? Never mind the 9.7M college students receiving direct federal aid.
The "conservative" project to privatize education at the same time as they're reducing public education to rubble has been decades in the making. It's carefully constructed and well-planned. I never quite expected to live long enough to see it come to fruition, though. With Trump comes their chance.
I’m truly confused…. States run education through taxes. Teachers receive credentials through states. Education (and school districts) are run through elected boards. It’s local. This is yet another state’s rights versus federal issue.
School vouchers will promote mediocre education driven by religious bias in most communities. Compare the curriculum at the majority of these church based schools. Taking more money from public schools will hurt rural schools the most and erode special need services. Teacher pay will remain low too.
School vouchers gut public education funding, do not provide enough for most low income families to private school, and mainly serve as a discount for wealthier parents with kids already in private schools.
School vouchers are modern day segregation and don’t create better educational outcomes. They make everything worse and create wealth inequality in schools while lining donors pockets
The rich only see us as all in it together when they need our kids to go die to defend them and what's theirs. When that need arises, suddenly we are all Americans together. Otherwise you are on your own and their tax dollars are not going to pay for it.
Actually, public schools are not only NOT swimming in money, they have actually been defunded for decades, right beneath the noses of parents and the public. When you defund it with vouchers, you lose the quality. Private schools teach the bare minmum with no accountability.
Wait I'm confused... Isn't Linda McMahon Vince McMahon's ex wife? The same Vince McMahon who's now in some deep sh*t for s*x trafficking amd former chairman of WWE?
And his core base, who probably love their local schools, will happily support it since it owns the libs. It'll all be anti-trans fearmongering and anti-"woke" nonsense

We have to be ready to pin the blame on voucher policies and the extremists who push them.
