State and local experience proves school vouchers are a failed policy that must be opposed?

Funding is removed from the public schools and given to the private schools. (It’s typically less than what a state allocated per student.) Vouchers can be a controversial topic in some communities.

The new secretary of education favors these programs, however, so it’s possible more states will start offering them.
