Florida does it right again (school vouchers)

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Florida for the win again. School vouchers for everyone now. We can shut down many of these shitty public schools and the kids can now get a good education from private schools.

DeSantis said he would sign it. Democrats and the filthy Teacher's Union opposed it that means it was the right thing to do.

It also allows for vouchers to be paid for home schooling, which is great.

Proponents say the expansion is the largest in the nation.

Florida's school choice expansion bill now heads to the governor's desk
The proposal (HB 1) would offer school choice vouchers to all students in Florida, regardless of income or zip code.

Proponents say it will also prioritize students with disabilities, thereby addressing the wait list of roughly 9,000 students seeking alternative schooling. Students of low and middle-income families are also prioritized.

“We should be empowering every single family and every single child,” bill sponsor Rep. Kaylee Tuck said Friday on the House floor.

Supporters of the bill maintain the bill will allow parents to pursue schooling that best suits their child’s needs. They also contend school-choice will allow parents to overcome unique barriers like class size and curriculum.

“With this vote today, we will send a clear message, not just to the people of Florida, but to the people of America, that here in this state we believe in funding our students, not in funding systems,” said Palm City Republican Rep. John Snyder, a proponent of the bill.

Critics, meanwhile, say the measure will deprive public schools of resources and fund private schools that lack comparatively adequate oversight.

“There’s a seat at the table for every educational option,” said House Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell. “But, there’s no reason for corporate schools to steal food off the plate of our local neighborhood schools.”

The Florida House passed the legislation on March 17 along a near party-line vote, with four Democratic lawmakers approving the bill. The Florida Senate voted 26-12 Thursday to send the bill to the governor's desk.

Wrong.

Florida continues its war on public education.

Because corporations ALWAYS have our best interests at heart… right?

Your comment is hosted on a service owned by a corporation, maybe you should leave in protest?

 

[BluesLegend]

Florida parents are still free to choose public schools so what's the problem Dems?

 

[BluesLegend]

The right wings goal is to decrease education so we become like Iran or Saudi arabia. Their entire belief system depends on idiocy.

The left called, they want you to stay off their side.

 

[Lesh]

I trust corporations a lot more than I trust goddamn bureaucrats, whose bosses are corrupt politicians, elected by greedy special interest groups.

My sons were educated in the Lutheran school system. A non profit system that puts out quality education for less than half the cost per student than the shitty public schools.

Why do you Moon Bats hate quality education so much?

That’s insane

Wrong.

Florida continues its war on public education.

Public education needs to be destroyed. It sucks.

 

[Flash]

That’s insane

No, you are once again confused.

What is insane is the way the US has let public education deteriorate from being Number One in the world to being god knows how low.

Public education turns out functionally illiterate graduates and that is why it should be destroyed.

Competition for quality education is the best way to straighten things out.

You dumb ass Socialist hate the idea of competition, don't you?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

It’s a GREAT way to kill public education

Public education has already killed public education.

And as noted by the right wing reaction...killing public education IS the point

No sense in throwing money at a failed product.

 

[basquebromance]

public education & local Florida politics is at DeSantis' feet, WORLD DOMINATION as President Of The United States is his next thing!

 

[basquebromance]

Written by Milton Friedman… Kidding - This was ELIZABETH WARREN on school vouchers in 2003. Why did she change?

It’s a GREAT way to kill public education

It SHOULD be killed. Bill Bennett was correct when he was Reagan's SecEd. Parents, not Big Daddy Government know what's best for their OWN kids.

Bill Bennett was a religious fundie who cynically used religion for political gain

 

[Winco]

Note how Democrats hate it when the people have a choice.

Let's see who gets a choice.
Sounds good in theory, will NEVER work like the vision suggests.

Are you going to replace all those 'groomer' teachers?
Are the disruptive kids all at once going to become saints?

That’s kinda the point. The cream get siphoned off to private schools and the public education system gets all the problems

Or getting the kids out of the public school system turns more of them into cream.

People can still choose public education, fact!

People can still choose public education, fact!

Well, the Left does not want school choice outside of their APPROVED government run schools. Why do you think they throw shitfits over successful charter schools?

Gutfeld nailed it tonight.

Fundie Christian Madrasas are about to pop up everywhere

And some of them are ten times better than any public school.

My sons went to a Lutheran school and received very good educations.
