More about private school vouchers:
For more than 60 years, far-right legislators in Texas have been hellbent on passing vouchers, also called “education savings accounts” or “ESAs." Under vouchers, taxpayer dollars would be taken away from public schools—which are already severely underfunded—to subsidize tuition at unregulated private and religious schools.
Neighborhood public schools accept all students, but voucher schemes divert public tax dollars to private and religious schools that can deny admission or educational services to any student, including students with disabilities, students from different religious faiths, or students or parents who are LGBTQIA+. Legislators must not allow private and religious schools to discriminate while taking our tax dollars.
I hope you can join us on March 11, whether physically or digitally, to tell legislators—for the umpteenth time—that our public dollars belong in public schools! In community, |
