Texas has recently approved a major school voucher initiative, marking a pivotal victory for the private-school choice movement. Advocates are now aiming to influence national policy, with plans for a federal bill that could potentially be pushed through Congress. The proposed legislation would facilitate a $10 billion tax credit for private education scholarships, challenging the longstanding resistance from Democratic states and teachers' unions. This shift in education funding policy signals a significant change in the landscape of American educational choices.
"It's a monumental and cascading moment for the school choice movement," said Tommy Schultz, chief executive of the American Federation for Children.
A national bill would bring private-school choice to states where Democrats and teachers' unions have always been successful in quashing the concept.
