Schools where kids are demandy. Kids that grew up in neighborhoods enjoy I grew up in the South Bronx projects.”
Trump’s education secretary pick comes amid converseions of abolishing the Department of Education, which experts say the pdwellnt would demand congressional approval to do.
“And what happens with vouchers? The studies show very evidently that they fund students already joining stateiveial schools. So people with money get those vouchers, engage the vouchers to pay less for their stateiveial schools and their kids go on to do well. Where do you get the money from vouchers? You pull that money from the demandy schools,” Hostin said. “Wealthy families are overwhelmingly the recipients of school voucher tax plifts, I’m not making this up.”
