Jack, across the nation, Republicans are dismantling the public education system. Private school vouchers, originally designed to undermine desegregation, now threaten public school funding.

Beyond book bans and attacks on our teachers, Republicans are expanding their efforts to turn our public schools into profit centers.

South Carolina's GOP is funneling $90 million from public schools to private ones, removing income caps and eligibility restrictions. Texas's Governor Abbott is using millions to back voucher supporters, sidelining public school advocates. Georgia's passage of Senate Bill 233 sends $6,500 of state funds per student to private schools, edging out public education.

When schools are privatized, the most vulnerable children suffer the consequences. Across the country, privatization campaigns are further segregating our schools based on income, race, disability, and religion. We cannot allow the interests of a few to undermine the educational rights and opportunities of all.

Our public education system—a cornerstone of learning and development—is under threat.

The resurgence of private school voucher schemes, historically rooted in efforts to undermine desegregation, now poses a significant challenge to the integrity and funding of public schools. These programs harm both students and public schools by taking funds from those schools, reducing state resources for public services, and increasing racial and socioeconomic segregation within the education system.

Across the nation, Republicans are dismantling the public education system.

In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott is targeting fellow Republicans who oppose vouchers, pouring tens of millions of dollars into campaigns to unseat them, despite strong opposition from both Democrats and rural Republicans who view public schools as the lifeblood of their communities.

In Georgia, the passage of a voucher bill marks a significant shift towards the privatization of education funding. The bill, which grants families $6,500 a year in state funds for private schooling, represents a clear move away from the commitment to public education.

The future of our nation's children, the health of our economies, and the fabric of our communities depend on a robust public education system. We cannot allow the interests of a few to undermine the educational rights and opportunities of the many.
