This is such a corruption of the system.

Seems like a policy that Jerry would support" :-O
As usual, Jerry was villifying me for not supporting vouchers that take money from the most challenged schools. However he neglected to mention the problem that is noted in this report.
Who Benefits

The Wealthy Benefit
Now maybe Jerry honestly and naively thinks that vouchers are about helping the unlucky kids escape "poor schools". Unfortunately the data shows that he is very wrong.
It is actually a way for the middle class and wealthy to escape the poor kids as usual. No wonder the poor communities get poorer...
And a way for the Religious Right to have the Tax Payers fund their indoctrinating their kids towards hate and against tolerance, love , acceptance, etc.
At least there doesn't seem to be much of a push for vouchers here in MN. Laurie
If MAGA and the Religious Right ever get control of the MN government, I am sure that will change quickly.
I simply don't understand these mental gymnastics that "vouchers take money from public schools" and "leaving the poor kids behind." Most voucher programs direct the [taxpayer] money to poor kids in poor schools, so the rich certainly do not benefit "unfairly," if that is your point. The truly rich go buy a new house to escape those schools, already leaving poor kids behind. You shouldn't and can't stop that, so why not give poor parents the same opportunity?
And the concern that schools that are failing these kids-- terrible child abuse that should not be tolerated-- might lose money is simply indefensible. You are always saying (correctly) that kids who are abused by their parents should be removed from that environment. Why not apply that same logic to the schools that abuse children, and "take" the kids away?
Now I am perfectly willing to make the vouchers "universal" in that they can be taken to the public schools as well as to alternatives. That's particularly important to give the public schools time (and incentive) to compete before alternatives can spring up against them. That would include making the amount of the voucher specific to each kid, depending on the challenge each presents. Furthermore, I would want the public schools to be freed from as much "unnecessary" regulation as possible, just like the alternatives, INCLUDING the requirement that teachers must be unionized and must express support for the LGBT agenda.
There are still many (mostly unions and big-government people) who claim that vouchers and other school choice programs do not necessarily improve results. Other studies seem to show that in many cases academic improvement is substantial. MY argument is that, right now, the public schools are failing and getting worse, with no apparent "plan" for any improvement despite increased spending. If you don't want school choice, then tell me how you can make the SCHOOLS change to improve, and quickly. .
It seems that you did NOT read the article.
