Our public schools, the heart of so many communities across America, are facing an unprecedented attack. Powerful special interests are pushing hard for multiple forms of vouchers, from tuition tax credits to education savings accounts to universal voucher programs and other privatization schemes that would divert billions of dollars from neighborhood public schools.
Congress is now working to include a “tuition tax credit” into a bill whose primary purpose is to extend and expand tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. This scheme is simply a private school voucher that doubles as a tax shelter for the rich, letting wealthy voucher proponents turn a profit by helping to divert public funds to private school vouchers. It has nothing to do with trying to improve public education through increased literacy, community schools, or career and technical education programs. We need to contact members of Congress and tell them to reject any voucher provisions.
