Whether it's called an opportunity scholarship, tuition tax credit, or school choice plan, it's still a voucher, and it still hurts public schools.
Every dollar invested in a voucher scheme is a dollar drained from our public schools.
Nearly 90 percent of America's schoolchildren are educated in our public schools. That leaves us with a fundamental choice to provide vouchers for a few or improve public schools for all. Draining badly needed money from our public schools could doom the children left behind in school systems that don't have money to fix their problems. We can improve the public schools. We know what needs to be done.
