Yeah. It’s bad. In case anyone can’t see the writing on the wall, they are going to give everyone vouchers so that they can afford to leave public schools and go to private schools and then gut them later.
The vouchers will further tank public schools. Republicans will then be able to argue that public schools are failing, that attendance rates as abysmal, and they should shut down funding to them (and conservative voters will eat that shit up as their entire world view is based on sound bites they got from Fox News). I bet the voucher programs don’t last much longer after that once there is no alternative.
It’s worse than that. The money that goes to private schools is taken from public school funding. It’s just another way to further separate classes.
