Tennessee’s school voucher scheme is set to go universal in the 2025-26 school year.
It’s bad news for the state budget – and for local schools.
It will also likely lead to bad outcomes for kids.
And not just on the academic side.
Peter Greene writes about the potential for taxpayer-funded discrimination.
This is what vouchers are about–defunding a system that has an obligation to serve all students and giving that money to a system that can discriminate against whoever for whatever reason. Operate that private system if you feel you must, but do not fund it with public tax dollars. I hope Tennessee Christian decides not to accept vouchers. Better for them, and better for the taxpayers of Tennessee.
