why would giving families a choice "devastate" government schools?

Michael Lotfi2 years ago

Parents are taking back control of their children's education. Whether this union likes it or not.

Proficiency scores are what is devastating public schools.

Then earn it! If you retain kids, you retain funds… That simple.

If parent/ school choice is all that it takes to devastate public schools that should tell you something.

Universal school vouchers have been a bad deal for education in Arizona. They drain resources from public schools and leave working families and kids with disabilities behind. That’s why I’m fighting to repeal Republicans’ new national school voucher program.

WATCH: Gov. Bill Lee downplays not asking voucher kids if they’re already in private schools, saying the legislation didn’t require it. (Which was intentional) He says he wants “UNIVERSAL” vouchers. (steering BILLIONS to private Christian schools while harming public schools)

Republicans gutted public education in Arizona to fund private school vouchers. Now they want to export that failure nationwide through a private school voucher tax credit. Today, with Rep. Gwen Moore, I introduced the Keep Public Dollars in Public Schools Act to repeal this giveaway and keep public dollars in public schools where they belong.

Republicans are creating a national school voucher program that will leave public schools with less funding and abandon students with disabilities. Arizona already has school vouchers and we've seen the consequences. I'm fighting to give every kid a fair shot.

Abbott’s voucher scam sold out our kids and our neighborhood schools. When I’m Governor I’ll end voucher giveaways and get back to basics. It’s time to put 5.5 million Texas public school kids first.

Gina Hinojosa first ran for school board bc the Texas education system decided to close her son’s school. In 2023, she fought against Abbott’s voucher scam that would hurt public school funding. If we want a Governor who will fight for public schools, we must elect Gina Hinojosa

As a mom w/ 2 kids in public schools, I am one of the millions of TX parents w/ “skin in the game” in this voucher fight. Our teachers are the beating heart of our neighborhood #txed public schools. We must do better by them and not tie their pay to a voucher scam.

.Greg Abbott’s inaction has cost Leander ISD over $34 million dollars this school year. Teachers and students are suffering — we don’t need a voucher scam — we need a real investment in our public schools. I have 34 million new reasons to fight Greg Abbot’s voucher scam.
