To them, apparently, only rich people should have school choice..

School choice has become a hot-button issue after the COVID-19 lockdowns shined a light on the scope of the government’s authority and gave parents a window into public school curricula.

Many private schools stayed open while public school systems across the country closed in-person learning for entire semesters, even years, and remote learning lifted the veil on what public school kids are actually learning – and not learning.

Private schools across the country reported seeing a significant uptick in enrollment over the past two years, while public school enrollment declined on a national scale

...

Private school choice, or providing all families with alternatives to the public schools they’re zoned for, can be expanded through multiple avenues at the state level, including school voucher programs, tax-credit scholarship programs, individual tuition tax credit programs and deductions, and Education Savings Accounts (ESAs). Charter schools, magnet schools and homeschooling are also forms of school choice programs.

Proponents of school choice, specifically private school choice, argue it gives families regardless of socioeconomic status more freedom in deciding their child’s education. Opponents like teachers’ unions and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) argue against the privatization of schools...

...

private school choice should be available for every student, not just the wealthy.

...

Biden attended the Archmere Academy, a posh Roman Catholic prep school in Claymont, Delaware, and he sent both of his sons, Beau and Hunter Biden, to attend the same private school that currently charges $30,900 in tuition.

Biden, whose 2020 presidential campaign was largely funded by teachers’ unions, repeatedly voiced opposition to private school vouchers on the campaign trail, saying it would destroy the public school system.

Being dishonest frauds is part and parcel of being a Democrat.

Check out the stock buying / dumping - always done with incredible timing, by a SPOUSE.

Another interesting statistic; over half of Chicago public school teachers send their children to private school.

Twenty years of the right thinking that if they just point out the lefts hypocrisy enough times, GOTCHA!!! that something will change, or that they’ll “win”.

Lol! I’ve got a news flash for ya. They. Don’t. Care.

Tip: Try advancing your OWN agenda or policies.

They only care about keeping the teacher’s union donations flowing and using members as foot soldiers.

Well, of course. These POS won’t allow public schools to be protected by armed guards, so they send theirs to private — which are.
It is for the peasants to send their children to be sacrificed so guns can be confiscated.

Of course they do!

As far as the Dems and the teacher's unions are concerned, We the People cannot be allowed school choice, as it would doom the public education system. That the public education system has already been destroyed by the NEA and the AFT is beside the point. As Dem pols know, El-hi students don't vote, and they need those huge contributions (more accurately, kickbacks) from the teacher's unions. Meantime, those of them who can afford the $50K tuition send their children to private schools.

Everyone has school choice. They can send their kids to public schools, private schools, home school as they wish. My parents sent me to 12 years of Catholic school and they certainly weren't rich. What the author wants is for the federal government to subsidize them.
