Holy shit, ruining your country speed run.
Public education is the great equalizer which is why the people in power and the wealthy love these programs. Education should be uniform or else you erode any meritocracy imagined or real.

Also why they love lower and middle classes having debt from higher education. They want the system to benefit them and bind everyone else.
That's exactly what they want. Why do you think they're rolling back child labor laws? And people cheer it on.
"School Choice" = segregation
Also, religious indoctrination.
I legitimately do not understand the logic behind this.
What about people without kids? Why don't they get money off their student loans or vouchers for college or vocational classes?
I don't have a car, so can I get back my portion of the money that went to widening and resurfacing the streets? Or maybe a voucher I can use at the bike shop?
Just because I don't directly utilize a tax funded service doesn't mean I don't indirectly benefit from that service, let alone that I should be reimbursed for it in some fashion. And this shit is somehow even worse. It's taking money that could be going to a public school and giving it to psycho home schoolers or people who are already rich enough to afford private schools. It's actively making things worse.
Because the point of this program is not to actually help anyone, but rather to further dismantle the public school system. Republicans don't like paying taxes.
Or an educated populace
"Educated in the right way," literally and figuratively.
So you wanted everyone's tax dollars to support you having your college debt paid off, but you are against your tax dollars going to someone else's education if you aren't directly benefiting?
I get you, you fucking hypocrite.
- This proposal is total bs, though. There's so many reasons this is a shit idea.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Even in the reddest states, they fell short of their true Holy Grail: public money funding private school tuition, for all who want it, including middle-class and wealthy families.
This argument prevailed in Wisconsin in 1990, when Republicans joined with a few Democrats to create the nation’s first modern voucher program, for low-income kids in Milwaukee (an idea promoted by the Wisconsin-based Bradley Foundation).
“Part of my job was to actively call reporters and try to get them to take the word ‘voucher’ out of their stories,” said Charles Siler, a former lobbyist for the Goldwater Institute who has since become a critic of his onetime allies.
But the drop in Republican support shifted the previous political status quo, especially in red states, making rank-and-file GOP voters less hostile about proposals to shake up the system.
So in 2022, his final year in office, Ducey took another shot at getting the nation’s first truly universal ESA program — in which even families already sending their kids to private school could get money — off the ground in Arizona.
States could create what was essentially a new benefit for families who weren’t previously utilizing government money to educate their children, while often increasing funding and teacher pay at public schools, in “have your cake and eat it too” fashion.
The original article contains 4,032 words, the summary contains 218 words. Saved 95%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Why down vote the bot???
Read the article, I dont wanna argue with people who have a shitty summary at best
