School choice is a divisive policy that undermines the very idea of a shared public good. It's bad for society.

The ECCA allows private schools to escape accountability for student outcomes, yet they receive public funds. It's a loophole. Shocking but not surprising from a Republican-controlled government.

We need to fight for equitable, well-funded public schools for every child, not fragmented systems that exacerbate inequality.

Don't be fooled: "Educational Choice for Children Act" sounds nice, but it's fundamentally about defunding public schools.

The ECCA isn't a solution to educational challenges; it's a symptom of a broader agenda to privatize public services.

We should be strengthening public schools, not weakening them through policies like the ECCA that drain vital resources.

The ECCA fuels a cycle of underfunding public schools, then using their struggles as justification for further privatization.

The true cost of school choice is the erosion of public education for the majority. We can't afford this "choice."

When private schools receive public funds, they should be held to public standards. The ECCA ensures they are not.

It's not "choice" if it's based on who can afford to supplement a voucher or who lives near a private school. That's privilege.

The ECCA is a betrayal of the public trust, diverting taxpayer money from schools that serve everyone to those that serve a select few.

Before you subscribe to the assertion that charter schools get better results, remember that many of them are able to handpick their students. Who do you think they are picking?

School choice siphons off motivated students, leaving public schools with fewer resources and a more concentrated population of high-need students.

The argument that private schools are inherently better is often based on cherry-picked data and lacks independent, rigorous evidence.

"School choice" isn't about parental rights; it's about dismantling the public sector and handing it over to private interests.

The ECCA is designed to benefit private school operators and wealthy donors, not the vast majority of students or the public good.

Why are we subsidizing private schools that aren't required to meet the same standards or serve the same diverse populations as public schools? Oh, bigotry, that's right.

The "choice" offered by vouchers often isn't enough to cover tuition, leaving low-income families with no real options.
