I've seen a lot of posts with very little, if anything to do with Vermont in the last few days. It's really annoying. If it's not Vermont-specific, why is it posted here?

I am a Vermont educator, and this is a very relevant issue.

Vermont has had vouchers for children for towns that don’t have a high school for many years, and it has worked well.

The Supreme Court said states can’t discriminate against some students by only offering vouchers to a select few.

The education establishment doesn’t want to lose their stranglehold on 2 billion in state spending on preK-12 education that current results in <45% proficiency state wide.

So is this an issue? Yes Are Vermonts children being offered equal access to quality education? No Is the NEA looking out for the best interest of your child? No.

It does have to do with Vermont. We are now paying tax dollars to both private schools as well as religious schools.
