I am not sold on vouchers because I don't believe property taxes decline with competition. BUT....I'd be in favor of this test:

1. Set up three high schools: wokey, centrist, traditionalist.

2. Have teachers choose where they want to teach, with the proviso that their pay will be governed by attendance.

3. Let parents select where they want their kids to be educated.

On a purely speculative basis, I imagine the teacher distribution would be 40% woke, 40% centrist, and 20% trad. The student distribution would be 15% woke, 50% centrist, and 35% trad, The woke go broke.

In CA, property taxes in a given district are irrelevant when it comes to school funding. All property taxes go to Sacramento which redistributes them back to each school district such that the highest income districts are the lowest funded. I think CA is the only state that doesn’t fund each student with the same amount.

So…a voucher system would work in CA as property taxes aren’t related to school funding as they are in other states ($$ staying within each district).
