gop constantly lowers rural healthcare access and education funding, which is then claimed as “underperforming schools” and used to rationalise the privatisation of education through charter schools. Those schools are paid for by vouchers. Eventually tuition will rise if these schools can gain majority away from public schools - this is done intentionally for two reasons:
To gouge those who will pay higher cost for education in short term
To provide an opening for, you guessed it, religious schools with the available funds to subsidize tuition and become the cheap/only school option, becoming all that the shrinking value vouchers will cover in some areas.
This both creates a pipeline to indoctrinate desperate families with religion they wouldn’t otherwise seek AND becomes a way to launder tax money directly into the church.
These peoplee are such a fucking cancer on decent society.
