@[email protected] Least surprising outcome ever.
@[email protected] I see school choice as a form of self segregation from the poor, people of color, LGBTQ+, and other classes.
@[email protected] I am guessing the proponents of vouchers anticipated this with glee.
@[email protected] naturally, vouchers are just a program of wealth transfer to churches and private schools.
@[email protected] Seems entirely predictable, sadly.
@[email protected] That was depressing but very interesting. TY for investigating/reporting it.
