Pervert groomers hardest hit.

This is something the national GOP should get behind strongly. But I bet they won’t.

Meanwhile in Pennsylvania, the weasel governor reneged on a handshake deal with state republicans on school vouchers. The weasel is totally owned by the Teachers union. among others. And Republicans remain as feckless as ever. The weasel has his sights set higher than the governor mansion in Pa.

p.s. - the weasel is also keeping the unfit Fetterman under wraps until 2024 in order to avoid a special election next year..

As long as "MommyGov" controls the purse strings, the educational system will be screwed up.

No public money for schools, give a tax credit for money actually spent by parents.

There will always be some fraud but not DOE/Randi W./NEA/AFT level.

Excellent. This is how to solve ALL the public school issues from the grooming to the rest of the Leftist indoctrination to masking and vax requirements a couple years ago. Two words: School choice. Firstly, tell Lefties (who will invariably object to protect the teachers' union - one of the Democrats KEY pillars of support) that you are pro choice. Then provocatively say to them "you ARE pro choice aren't you?" Make them argue against choice. Make them explain why choice is now bad since being pro choice on abortion is something they've pushed so hard for decades. This always makes them deeply uncomfortable. When they try to claim its somehow radical or new just say "no it isn't. This is basically what we have for college.....think federal student loans the student can spend at whatever college they want to. Same deal except its vouchers instead of loans for grade school." Also point out that our universities dominate the global rankings yet our K-12 education badly lags a lot of other countries - including many countries who spend far less per student than we do. That last part is key because they will try to claim poverty. They'll try to excuse the crappy performance of the marxist teacher's union by claiming gosh, we just don't spend enough money and that's the problem. Nope! Others get better results with less money.

We have to get all the red states on board with this and let the blue states continue to decay. The Republican Party should be the family party. And that is what they should run on this coming election.

People have forgotten that a lot of private schools have gone bonkers.

The Texas legislature is owned by the unions. Abbott would sign it if they passed it.

Instead of vouchers, parents (and grandparents) might be allowed to apply the tuition paid as a tax credit to the school components of their property tax bills.

Building up the private school system this way ensures it gets expanded under strong market force conditions.

In Japan, teachers must rotate among schools.

Quotes:

As public schools, charter schools cannot charge tuition or impose special entrance requirements; students are usually admitted through a lottery process if demand exceeds the number of spaces available in a school. Charter schools generally receive a percentage of the per-pupil funds from the state and local school districts for operational costs based on enrollment. In most states, charter schools do not receive funds for facilities or start-up costs; therefore, they must rely to some extent on private donations. The federal government also provides revenues through special grants.

According to the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, a charter school advocacy group, there were an estimated 115 total charter schools in the District of Columbia in the 2015-2016 school year. These schools enrolled approximately 39000 students.

Overall, charter school students accounted for 49.87 percent of total public school enrollment in the District of Columbia in 2015.

The United States Congress approved the District of Columbia’s charter school law in 1996.

I’ve got some bad news for all the school choice people. If you have intelligent kids who you care enough about to pay for them to go to a good private school, or live in an expensive area that has good public schools, you are not going to like school choice. The people you are paying to get away from are going to end up in your children’s schools and there will be no where left for you to go. It’s not going to work like people think it will.
