School Voucher Initiative
The school voucher initiative would be a colossal mistake if passed (May 21).
There isn’t a private school in Southern California that costs $2,000-2,500 a year. Vouchers would only supplement families that can almost afford or can already afford private school tuitions. Poor and less privileged families would be left with even worse schools than now.
This is “choice”? This is un-American. Public education benefits all in the long run, whether one’s family attends or not.
The school voucher initiative is a selfish plan that offers no solutions, and strikes a death blow to our faltering public educational system.
