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.

Senate Republicans are still trying to rip away funding from public education to give to private schools and the wealthy—all under the guise of "expanding school choice." Don't let them fool you. They are coming after our public schools. We cannot let them.

School choice and funding our public schools are BOTH priorities in Texas. School choice doesn’t take from public schools—it’s funded separately. Texas is investing in every child’s future.

Republicans’ budget plan includes billions for private school vouchers that take away public school funding. While private schools can turn kids away, public schools work to ensure everyone can get a quality education. We must support public schools so all kids can realize their potential.

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.

Passing school choice does NOT mean Texas won't fully fund public education. School choice funding and public school funding come from separate pots. We won't take a single penny from our public schools to pay for school choice.

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.

We can’t forget what Greg Abbott did. When a bipartisan coalition rejected his voucher scam, he retaliated by withholding funding from our public schools. He’s sacrificing 5.5 million school children to please his billionaire donors. It’s unconscionable. Immoral. Unacceptable.

James Talarico questioning the author of the furries bill, Rep Gerdes. He could not name a single instance of students acting like animals. This was debunked as an internet conspiracy and was used to promote the school voucher scam and take away funding from our public schools

A new report has revealed elite private schools are investing in luxury infrastructure projects, thanks to the billions they receive in funding from taxpayers. Government schools though are battling to afford the basics, with state Labor calling for its federal counterparts to contribute more. Ainsley Koch

Commies in Seattle are big mad at Trump after massive federal funding cuts at some public universities. More could be on the way for schools that continue to promote DEI and enable pro-Hamas protests.

Since the CAT tax passed, Oregon has lost over 34,000 public school students—but funding hasn’t followed them. Schools still receive the money even when students leave. If outcomes mattered, the system would adjust. It hasn’t.

The Texas voucher scam screws over taxpayers, rural Texans, and 4.9 million students in public schools, just so Greg Abbott’s rich buddies can get a discount on their private school tuition. No public dollars for private schools. #TexasTake #txlege #txed

AEAs were created to provide special education services to kids in rural schools where support was limited. But in 2024, politicians gutted the funding, cut staff, and then used that money to pay for the unaccountable school voucher program. That's literally taking money away from rural schools & giving it to wealthy families.

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.
