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.

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.

This is what school vouchers are doing to Arizona’s public schools, and it’s not a one-off. It is standard that most of the voucher money is going to parents who already pay for private schooling, depleting public school funding. #DemsUnited #HandsOffPublicSchools

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.

NEW: Arizona has a huge school voucher program, and the money is being spent in shocking ways — lingerie, Xboxes, Disney vacations. The vouchers were sold as helping poor kids, but the money is going to rich families and private schools, while public schools close and suffer.

Like Gov. Abbott, House Republicans are scheming to defund our public schools with private school vouchers. At a Ways and Means Democrats, I spoke against GOP vouchers that will undermine federal aid to public schools, which serve 90% of America’s children.

The Texas voucher scam is a billion dollar grift that will leave behind 5.4 million public school students, and stick taxpayers with the bill.

School voucher programs enable wealthy “donors” to receive tax breaks for diverting funding from public schools. All at taxpayers’ expense. This isn’t philanthropy. It’s profiteering. Republicans are steering federal funding away from public schools and the students they serve.

With voucher applications closing, data shows less than 1% of Texas public school families applied for a voucher. Last year, I warned the Senate that vouchers would mainly benefit private school kids who can already afford to pay. This was never about school choice. Watch below:

Indiana has turned the school voucher program into a $300 MILLION handout to private companies. But somehow, we don’t have enough $ to give public school teachers raises, or provide universal pre-k, or give students free lunches. Thanks IndyStar for the report on vouchers

Every kid deserves a fair shot, no matter their zip code or how much money their family makes. Trump’s school voucher program puts that at risk by taking money out of public schools and giving to private ones. That’s not right, so I introduced a bill to repeal it.

In Ohio, a private school voucher program is sending billions (yes, billions) of your tax dollars to fund private schools with no accountability as to how the funds are actually spent. A governor who believes in public schools can fight for fair funding, safe and productive classrooms, high quality schools, higher teacher pay, and the belief that every child deserves a great public education—no exceptions. Thank you so much to Timothy Snyder for the conversation today. It was an honor!

There are some self-proclaimed Christians pushing voucher scams. Vouchers take money from public schools and give it to wealthy parents who already send their kids to private school. I can’t think of anything more un-Christian than stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

Texas Republicans just voted to pass the school voucher scam, and made sure they will be able to benefit from it too. It’s a huge handout to themselves and their donors, and a huge🖕to 5.5 million Texas public school students. #txlege

Greg Abbott is trying to defund our schools with a private school voucher scam. Not on our watch. Today I joined my colleagues to introduce the Fully Fund our Future Act which will invest in ALL students and give every teacher a $15,000 raise. #txlege

My high school math teacher was the first person who helped me realize I liked math and was pretty good at it. That’s what public schools do. But Trump’s voucher program will drain them of the resources they need. I’m fighting for every kid to have what I had.
