A new PDK poll shows support for public schools & teachers remains high. Highlights:
- 66% want teachers to have the most influence over what’s taught.
- 67% support raising teacher salaries, even if it means higher taxes.
- A majority supports optional mental health screenings.

THREAD: TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO PRIVATE AND RELIGIOUS SCHOOL #VOUCHER PROGRAM, AKA “LIFELINE” SCHOLARSHIPS MEANS

[AFT Pennsylvania @AFTPA]

Picking up where our friends @PSEA left off: Jim DeMint has also signed the letter supporting vouchers. DeMint has said that openly gay teachers should be banned from teaching in public schools. He also voted repeatedly for a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

[PA Schools Work @PASchoolsWork]

There is no way to create a private school voucher system that does not take away money from public education.

FULL STOP🛑

Among the signers to a letter supporting lifeline scholarship is…Grover Norquist, president of American for Tax Reform, who once said his goal is to cut public funding (for public schools, healthcare, & other services) “down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."

[Becky Pringle @BeckyPringle]

We are stronger when our country, communities, schools, and future includes and reflects all of us.

This decision by an out-of-touch Supreme Court slams the door on higher education opportunities for students who have been historically denied the chance they deserve.

@BeckyPringle Love this.

“There is absolutely no way to create a tuition voucher program that doesn’t take money from public schools,” @PSEAPres said during a Capitol press conference today with @PASchoolsWork and other labor leaders.

[PSEA @PSEA]

“Diverting one cent of taxpayer money to a tuition voucher scheme for private and religious schools is absolutely irresponsible, no matter what name you call it,” @PSEAPres Rich Askey said.
