All of the wealthy parents will use vouchers to subsidize their private education. It will do little to support lower-income students. So the rich kids will be off to privates/religious schools while the poor kids are left behind in schools with significantly less funding. It will be a death spiral for public schools.

And Nate Bailey was DeVos’ freakin’ chief of staff.

This is what the Youngkin voters support - DeVos-style religious nut jobs who want to implement vouchers. If you look at how that’s played out in Michigan, Indiana, etc - that is bad news for public schools. Good news for private schools.

The question is - is that what you really wanted?

Do we want school choice?  Absolutely.  How dumb are you that you have to even ask the question?  That's a huge reason we voted for Youngkin.

I'm sure you will end up with very quality schools in Nova given the amounts that you will be able to get from vouchers. I'm sure that a per pupil funding rate that is less than half of parochial school and tied to a requirement to take everyone will lead to amazing schools. [/quote]
