Kansas governor vetoes tax credit programs for private schools  • Kansas Reflector Gov. Laura Kelly told Legislators to focus on funding special education instead of giving private school tax credits.

Kansas Governor says NO to federal vouchers for private schools. If only POLIS showed the same support for PUBLIC EDUCATION.

Trump's VOUCHER scheme will "lead to racial, economic, and social isolation of students and weaken or destroy the public school system.”

Hobbs vetoes proposal to opt Arizona into tax credit program to fund private school scholarships Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill on Monday which would have opted Arizona into a federal tax credit program to fund private school scholarships.

If only Colorado's "democratic" Governor had the courage to support PUBLIC EDUCATION like Arizona's governor. She said NO to Trump's voucher scheme!

Inside the Trump Administration’s Plan to Change Public Education YouTube video by ProPublica

ProPublica reporters Jennifer Smith Richards and Megan O’Matz expose a concerted push to shrink public school systems by steering taxpayer dollars to private, religious and charter schools, as well as options like homeschooling. @edlawcenter.bsky.social

Vouchers lose at the ballot box. So how do they keep winning? Vouchers lose when voters get a say, yet they keep spreading. That’s not a mystery; it’s a business plan. For 30+ years, a small circle of billionaires has funded think tanks, lobbyists, and candidates to paint public schools as “failing,” push charters as the exit ramp, and now turbocharge vouchers through a new federal tax credit that moves public dollars into private control with few guardrails.

Colorado’s tax‑credit scholarships quietly shift public power toward private education Colorado tax-credit scholarships reshape state policy, raising human rights issues in private school funding shift.

The new federal tax credit school VOUCHER "quietly cedes public authority to private donors and SGOs."
