Opinion: School vouchers in Pennsylvania would violate the principles of ‘public’ education
Pennsylvania Republican legislators support a voucher program they say is meant to help a small number of students who attend schools they claim are failing.

However, they and their supporters, including billionaires Betsy DeVos and Jeffrey Yass, have made no secret that their ultimate goal is to replace our public schools with a system of private schools financed by vouchers.
