In Kansas, voucher plans have always been pitched as a way to help low-income minority students. The exact opposite is true. It has also been pitched as a way to give parents more control. Again, the exact opposite is true. Vouchers are a scam, up, down and sideways

Nearly 9 out of every 10 of new Ohio voucher applications went to white students.
More applications came from families making $150k-plus, than less.
In state after state, these numbers are rolling in.

The public school system uses tax dollars to educate as many students as possible to as high a degree as possible. That's what is best for our society. If you want an exclusive private school education, do it on your own dime.
@srothschild1
How much do Kansans pay for public school per student, 20k? The education establishment can AFFORD a little choice!
Heaven forbid we give some back to the struggling parent so they can take their kid to a cheaper & better performing school.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS RIGHT?

Greg Abbott and his billionaire mega-donors know private school vouchers are unpopular in Texas.
So they’ve paid for a bunch of poll-tested slogans to sell their scam.
Here’s how to debunk each slogan in 1 minute…

It's great to have a governor who supports our public schools. OK, NE, TX govs (and KS legislative leaders) are out to destroy public schools by pushing voucher scams (education savings accounts), which are backed by billionaire donors. Protect our KS public schools

Ensuring Kansas kids have the best possible education is how we ensure a strong future for Kansas. Public dollars belong in public schools — where 90% of Kansas kids learn and grow.

Instant poll: Kansas has a $4.2B surplus of taxpayer funds. Should Kansas Legislature obey its own law to fully fund special education by increasing SPED funding by $87M per year for 4 years?

It astounds (disgusts) me that with a $3B surplus, legislative leaders refused to support a phased-in plan to

. This bill includes a 1% SPED increase. Kansas will cover 69% of excess costs from SPED instead of 92%, which is in the law. What's the matter with Kansas?

In KS, single mom of 2 must earn < $10K/yr for Medicaid, but House Speaker Hawkins says, “There is no version (of Medicaid expansion) I would support.” 70% Kansans support expansion; 40 states have done it, & Hawkins just doubled his speaker salary

If you tax someone making $50,000 a year at 5 percent and someone making $500,000 a year at 5 percent, the tax burden is greater on the person making $50,000. That is why you need to increase the percentage the more a person makes to make the tax burden fair
Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson really said let them eat cake with this one
“To every tax cut you make, if you’re talking about dollar value, the rich always get more because they buy more food”
BECAUSE THEY BUY MORE FOOD 💀

Reminds me of Brownback tax cuts. Anyone who could do simple math knew the cuts unsustainable, but instead we got "shot of adrenaline" & "dynamic scoring." Not surprisingly, same ones who pushed Brownback cuts are pushing vouchers. Their goal: destroy public schools

KS special education shortfall has grown to $423M, according to KSDE. Public school districts must backfill this from general education $$, so this hurts every KS public school student. It is also outrageous given state’s record budget surplus
