Arkansas's School Vouchers, in Its Second Year, Robbing The Poor Giving To The Rich
School Vouchers Not Helping Public School students as intended

This should shock no one. School Vouchers sold as a miracle bean to get your child out of public school and into private schools is doing exactly what it was originally intended and a windfall from education taxes into private rich hands. Whoops!

The voucher program was created by Arkansas LEARNS, the education overhaul law signed into law by Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders in 2023. The legislation’s backers sold LEARNS as a lifeline for poor families stuck in failing public schools. But with the program now in its second year, it’s hard to match that rhetoric with the numbers.
...
Either way, the program has to date mostly provided vouchers to students who are not moving over from public schools. These results fit a consistent pattern in other similar statewide voucher programs nationwide. Most of the public cash doled out winds up boosting the bank accounts of families who were never in the public school system to begin with. 

Oh, another scam that the tax payers in red states are paying for. Just like the Brett Favre welfare scam where money intended for the "poor" ends up in the pockets of a guy who doesn't need the money.

Why validate more of these morons with a gRump administration? Stupid people FAFO.
