An astonishingly poor piece of journalism from @arthurjonesii.bsky.social & @abc-news.bsky.social Just took a complex and contentious issue and simply quoted powerful advocates on one side, with no critical analysis. Stenographer to the powerful... abcnews.go.com/Politics/sch...

In a completely predictable shift... Policymakers supporting #SchoolVouchers have now decided that taxpayer-funded religious education is only for religions they like. www.tampabay.com/news/educati...

@npr.org does more that its share of puff pieces on the #SchoolChoice industry. Citing raw data on performance tells us nothing, & is in fact misleading. And it's not just special needs student who "pay the price." But good to hear from @federicowaitoller.bsky.social www.npr.org/2025/09/25/n...

IMHO, the new federal policy effectively penalizes states that don't adopt the universal school choice scheme.

As #SchoolVoucher program expands in NC, state finds fewer than 1 in 10 (8.4%) students transferred from public school. Could be some were new to NC, or been homeschooled. Or that like in so many other states, IT'S JUST A SUBSIDY FOR FAMILIES ALREADY IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS www.wral.com/story/most-n...

Florida's taxpayers are funding rich families to buy "TVs up to 55 inches, the Nintendo Wii and in-home internet," and 8,400 tickets to Florida’s theme parks – Disney World, Universal Studios – under the #SchoolVoucher program. #edpolicy www.wesh.com/article/flor...

School choice does not advance through voters, but through (GOP) legislatures, and (sometimes) the courts. But not this time. www.npr.org/2025/05/22/n...

Indiana just effectively ended tenure, cut higher ed $$, ended funding for public broadcasting, & cut $110 million from public health—funds that will now be spent so that taxpayer funded school vouchers will cover private schools for the richest residents of the state. www.axios.com/local/indian...

Interesting! We already knew these programs have negative impacts on kids using them to attend private schools. But school choice advocates have been claiming that there are still beneficial competitive effects for kids in public schools. Maybe not. #edusky journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

The logic of some advocacy orgs makes me laugh: [Our state] "is home to the nation’s oldest school choice program." AND it also "persistently has the largest racial achievement gaps in the country." Hmm, so I wonder how you want to address that? #edusky www.realcleareducation.com/articles/202...

New study finds school choice markets can limit access for families over time. #CharterSchools may force closure of public schools. But when some charters then close, students have no local options.
