The Trump administration knows private school vouchers have failed in Congress and been rejected by voters, so they're using an executive order to push them through anyway—at the expense of 90% of students who attend public schools.

Voucher programs leave out wide swaths of students, especially Black and brown students as well as those living in rural areas with no or limited access to private schools. https://thegrio.com/2025/01/29/trump-calls-for-ending-radical-indoctrination-in-k-12-education-and-prioritizing-school-choice-…
Trump calls for 'ending radical indoctrination in K-12' education and prioritizing school choice--what does it mean for Black students?
Trump's order allocating funding for expanding school choice would diverting crucial funding away from already underfunded public schools.

Bending to public outrage, the Trump administration rescinded its executive order to freeze federal spending. They showed us who they are and what they are willing to do at our children's expense to push their agenda. This reversal only demonstrates the need for all of us to speak truth to power.

Vouchers have been a catastrophic failure—everywhere. They drain funding from neighborhood public schools, where 90% of students learn, and leave behind those who need support the most. If Trump were serious about helping kids, he'd invest in smaller class sizes, educator pay, and more resources.
