Republicans’ long game to siphon off public school funding is working – MSNBC

Arizona is sending taxpayer money to religious schools — and billionaires see it as a model for the US – CNN

“Arizona was the first state in the country to enact a universal ‘education savings account’ program – a form of voucher that allows any family to take tax dollars that would have gone to their child’s public education and spend the money instead on private schooling.

“A CNN investigation found that the program has cost hundreds of millions of dollars more than anticipated, disproportionately benefited richer areas, and funneled taxpayer funds to unregulated private schools that don’t face the same educational standards and antidiscrimination protections that public schools do.”
