This year, Michigan voters will be confronted with a new proposal on their ballot. Proposal, otherwise known as the voucher program, it is important that you vote against it.
Many people supporting the voucher program have nothing but good intentions.
The issue is whether the vouchers will solve the inequality problem. Other school districts would have the choice whether to use vouchers or not, but voters could also override the school district's choice on a ballot. This money, instead of going to the local public school, will be used towards the student's private education. However, the students and their families must come up with the rest of the tuition on their own. In many cases, this is a way for the rich to have the government subsidize their child's private education, but private schools are still inaccessible for the poorest kids.
