It is deeply concerning that the House committee approved a bill allocating taxpayer money towards private education through school vouchers. This decision undermines our commitment to providing quality public education for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Public schools play a vital role in creating an equitable and inclusive society. Diverting funds away from public education will only exacerbate existing disparities and deprive countless students of the resources they need to succeed. We must prioritize strengthening and adequately funding public schools to ensure every child has access to a high-quality education. I urge you to oppose this legislation and instead focus efforts on improving our public education system. This includes increasing funding for public schools, investing in teacher training and retention, and providing equitable access to educational resources across all communities. Our children's futures depend on a robust public education system. We cannot afford to undermine this fundamental institution that has served as the great equalizer in our society. I implore you to stand up for public education and reject any measures that divert vital resources away from our public schools.
