On May 22, the U.S. House of Representatives passed
The Educational Choice for Children Act.
Stop Private School Vouchers —
Keep Public Funds in Public Schools
Some Members of Congress want to sneak a $20 billion private school voucher program into a priority tax package aimed at cutting taxes. The Educational Choice for Children Act would create a national, federal voucher program and funnel $5 billion per year in taxpayer money to private schools and families who homeschool.
Please send an urgent message today telling your Members of Congress that you oppose private school vouchers and support public funds for public schools.

Take Action
Oppose the Educational Choice for Children Act – Protect Public Education and Ensure Fair Access for All Students!
The Educational Choice for Children Act (HR 817, HR 833, S. 292) is a proposal that would send $20 billion in taxpayer money to private schools and families who homeschool. This proposal is fiscally irresponsible, enables student discrimination, undermines local control of education, and would severely damage public schools that educate 90% of American children.
