😡Make no mistake, the goal of the Trump administration is to destroy public education. Moms for Liberty co-founder & VP at the Heritage Foundation made that crystal clear. When asked what percentage of kids should be in public schools going forward, her response:“I hope zero, I hope to get to zero.”

😲 Today, the yearly cost of Arizona's universal voucher program reached $1 BILLION.
$1 billion in taxpayer funds are being siphoned into an unaccountable program that primarily benefits wealthier families who always chose private schools.

After 3 years of universal vouchers in AZ, we know that vouchers aren't free — and the impacts are costing kids and families.
Vouchers have destabilized school funding, leading to school closures & teacher layoffs. The true cost of this program is being paid by Arizona's students & their families 😢
