Illinois, especially Chicago, needs to make it possible for students to choose their school. The way it is now, children in lower-class neighborhoods are stuck with schools with lazy incompetent teachers and they learn nothing. Lots of them are in our prisons these days. The asshole Democrats don't care because the politicians get tons of money from the fucktard school unions.

DeSantis signs new school choice law, could make Florida first in nation

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed an education bill that allows for greater school choice in his state.

The new law, which streamlines Florida school choice scholarship programs and expands eligibility, was touted by DeSantis at a May 11 news conference at Jacksonville Catholic School.

Children in families of four that earn less than $100,000 will be eligible for a fully funded K-12 education at the school of their choice.

Big year for school choice

The College Fix reached out to Neal McCluskey, director at the Cato Institute’s Center for Educational Freedom, for his thoughts on the legislation. He said he sees the bill as a clean victory for school choice.

“Florida has long been a leader on choice, eventually having five different private choice programs,” he said. “So many programs could be confusing. Reducing the number by consolidating programs, while making more families eligible, should greatly increase educational freedom for Floridians.”

Jason Bedrick, director of policy at EdChoice, said in an email that this bill proves Florida “continues to be a pioneer for educational choice.”
