Every child, in every zip code, deserves a fair shot at a good education.

That's why I’m introducing legislation to repeal federal vouchers and keep public funds in public schools — so schools have the resources they need to do right by our kids.

Public School Rankings by State 2026 Discover population, economy, health, and more with the most comprehensive global statistics at your fingertips.

AZ public schools are 50th in funding, so ranking of 51st is no surprise.

Decades of underfunding have intentional consequences- huge profits for corrupt officials & their cronies with their for-profit schools & a ruined system.

Tom Horne needs to GTFO.

The GOP U.S. Supreme Court is not a court-it's an arm of the GOP. In 2028 we need Democratic presidential candidates to make reforming this corrupt court one of the top priorities!

I disagree. Shame is a healthy reponse to grievous misbehavior. If we escape this nightmare it's important that our children and theirs remember e ery sordid detail of what happened.

It's shitty behavior but not illegal when the benefactor is a U. S. national. It's definitely a crime when a foreign national is paying the bill. Which is what seems like is going on in a number of these cases.

Obviously no one should try to criminalize the freedom to voice and promote even reprehensible political opinions. It's the use of that right to promote the opinions of others, hiding their identities to create an illusion of authenticity, and being paid for it.

If we somehow escape this nightmare and find ourselves with competent leaders again, one thing I would like to see is agressive prosecution of those who sold their free speech rights to foreign interests. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign...

The current maladministration sounds like a rats nest of competing interests with nothing in common except replacing our representative democracy with different flavors of autocracy that benefit their paymasters - both foreign and domestic.

Republicans are cutting $12 billion in funding for Public Schools
Call Your Congressional Representatives 202 224-3121 No cuts to Education

The 2026 GOP budget slashes $12B from education, kills 40+ K-12 programs, wipes out special ed grants, & guts TRIO, GEAR UP, and work-study.
It’s a blueprint to dismantle public schools & abandon kids. Congress must reject it.

Tom Horne is an utter failure, made worse by Republicans pushing thru school voucher expansion after voters overwhelming rejected the progra.

No superintendent of education should be allowed a billion dollar slush fund that benefits just 90,000 kids! #Arizona #AZ

Democratic Group Pushes Party to Embrace G.O.P. School Voucher Plan

AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after it's debut — AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day But there remain a few options to plug in your 56K (or slower) screeching modem into.

So AOL is dropping support for dial-up internet in September. I had no idea there _was_ still dial-up. Or AOL for that matter. www.tomshardware.com/service-prov...

Public schools are closing as Arizona’s school voucher program soars Arizona, with a marketplace of school options and universal vouchers, offers a window into the GOP vision for K-12 education

In Arizona, public schools are being forced to close because politicians are defunding them through a runaway voucher program. We must strengthen, not abandon public schools.

Unfortunately Raul Grijalva's seat is still vacant. I emailed Ciscomani's office but don't see him voting against even the senate-passed version of HR1.

Beautiful area. Back when I was flying hang gliders I got to fly a few times at Mingus Mountain which isn't too far from Camp Verde. Alway enjoyed those trips.
