The Ohio legislature passed a bill to expand their private school choice program.

House passed: 53-36
Senate passed: 24-8

But the teachers union is now trying to get the governor to veto the bill.

Allowing families to choose their grocery store doesn't "divert resources from Safeway"

Allowing families to choose their school doesn't "divert resources from public schools"

The money doesn't belong to any particular institution.
Union President: "SB 89 fails to curb the destructive explosion of the voucher program"

Why would giving families a choice be "destructive"?🤔
Education funding is supposed to be meant for educating children - not for protecting a government monopoly.

We should fund students instead of institutions.
