Ridiculous ! Why expect federal funding for school choice programs ? Vouchers for school choice would actually SAVE MONEY for local governments compared to public schools. Private K-12 schools spend barely half a much per student as public K-12.
This is a red herring for people to claim they are “supportive” of school choice but are waiting for federal funding — the only reason for federal funding would be to further pad the public school systems and bribe them into releasing students from their evil clutches.
you know, I’m reminded of a question we asked each other in college: “The answer is more beer. What is the question?” Substitute “no federal funding” for “more beer” and you might have a pretty good road map...
