“Most people who use vouchers already have their children in private schools. In Arkansas, 95% of students with vouchers weren’t coming from public schools. In Arizona, 71% were already homeschooled or at a private school. Thus, vouchers just function as a wealth transfer mechanism rather than their much-ballyhooed assertion that school choice will help poorer students.”

This is just a wealth grift framed as “helping poor students have school choice.” More hidden agenda by the GOP giving handouts to people who don’t need it.
