83% Informative

In recent years , nearly a dozen states have enacted or expanded major voucher or “education savings account” programs.

Yet voucher efforts have been more successful when they aren’t put to a public vote.

Expansions of school vouchers have never won when put to voters.

The results of ballot initiatives around the nation show that it is in fact Trump , DeVos and other voucher proponents who are out of step with the American people on this particular issue.

They continue to advocate for vouchers for multiple reasons: a sense that public schools are places where children develop liberal values.

The Supreme Court could also aid the voucher movement in coming years .
