This is the typical course we have seen with states opting into #Vouchers. Those who pick it up are typically already in #privateschools. Private schools don't accept everyone, don't have the same rules. And that is our tax payer dollars flowing into them. #supportpubliceducation #publiceducation

Been trying 4 decades but 1st name on my list of 54 names (quit adding more) was "conspiracy theorist." BUT I always had proof of how "they" conspired. Thru my research on #PublicEducation ,which began by questioning why we weren't doing the right things in #Idaho, saw a pattern.

Same strategies.

MI coalition urges governor to reject federal school voucher plan Advocates for Michigan public schools are urging state leaders to reject a proposed federal voucher-style program they said could divert money away from public education.The Michigan Education…

60%+ of Michiganders oppose vouchers. Now the state may opt into a federal tax credit scholarship program critics say drains public school funding — with rural students and kids with disabilities least likely to benefit.
Whitmer is still reviewing. Advocates are pushing back hard.

agreeed!

why reward donations to private voucher schools

private schools are private
public schools are public

public education is not a direct benefit to individuals for them to reallocate funds at their discretion

public education is a benefit to the public, at public schools
