"It weakens public schools where most students in every state go to school. It does not make good business sense. Great schools are good for business. The most effective approach is to fund the schools we have.”
1000% this. #ksleg, let's not bring the voucher scam to #ksed. Fully supporting our public schools is a core Kansas value. 2/2
AZ had to cut funding for its water plan because of vouchers! P.S. 70% of voucher users are already in private schools. KS tax $ shouldn't subsidize welfare for the wealthy. #ksleg #ksed
Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, has spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it’s now facing hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects.
ALEC and its funders, partners, and allies, are coming for our Kansas public schools. . . #ksed must be prepared to push back on this nonsense and preserve public education for all Kansas kids.
