Advocates for “#voucher” alternatives to public #school, where the state subsidizes private religious or homeschooling, is a nightmare on so many levels. They were successful in getting it through the 2025 #Texas Legislature, and to nobody’s surprise, here’s how it’s shaking out.
During the session, advocates touted vouchers as a benefit for low-income families and students with disabilities. Of all applications, 63% came from middle- to high-income families — 27% of them making at or above $165,000 per year for a household of four, 75% of voucher applicants attended a private school, 45% are white, 23% are Hispanic and 12% are Black. Low-income families make up 37% of applicants — defined by the program as a family of four earning $66,000 or less per year. Children with disabilities make up 16% of applicants.
It’s a scam to steal public education funds, destroy the public system, and revert to a subclass of illiterate people.
