North Carolina lawmakers have approved a bill that allocates $463 million for private school vouchers while providing less than half of the requested funding for public school growth, igniting widespread concern among public education advocates. Critics argue that the legislation, which aims to clear a backlog of 55,000 applications for 'Opportunity Scholarships,' will further underfund public schools, affecting vital resources such as teacher salaries and support staff. Meanwhile, the proposed changes raise questions about equity and constitutionality, particularly regarding the admission policies of private schools that could benefit from the vouchers. In Colorado, voters will consider a ballot measure that may enshrine school choice in the state constitution, potentially allowing parents to exert significant control over education, which could complicate classroom dynamics. Tennessee is also a target for voucher expansion, as the American Legislative Exchange Council aims for 25 states to adopt such programs by 2025, despite previous legislative failures. The push for vouchers across these states reflects a broader right-wing agenda to privatize public education, raising alarms among advocates for public schools.
