    These voucher programs are a thinly-veiled excuse to funnel public money to charter schools the average American can’t afford to send their kids to, vouchers or no, with the explicit aim of starving public education of funds it desperately needs.

    Defend free public education for children, yours and other people’s. Vote against school vouchers every chance you get.
