The Crusty Old Man

At first, it was hard to understand why @VouchersHurtUs was using so many liberal talking points. But after researching the big-city liberals on their Steering Committee, it's clear they have a much bigger agenda. One that is far too liberal for most Ohioans. More soon...

Across Ohio, those $2 fees result in more than $1M drained from public school budgets annually. I have yet to find a district that has been provided an accounting of how that money has been spent.

The judge’s recent decision in the lawsuit against Ohio’s EdChoice vouchers reads more like a liberal harangue bashing private school choice than serious legal analysis, parroting absurd and easily disproven left-wing talking points against school choice. fordhaminstitute.org/ohio/commentar…

Proving even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while, @DrJimLloyd makes the case for vouchers.

Reading through Judge Raiza Page's ruling on EdChoice vouchers and I learned that the original tax rate to adequately support Ohio's public schools was 0.5 mils. Today the average homeowner pays 30x that. Plus federal taxes. Plus state taxes. And it's still inadequate.

Meanwhile in Minnesota, the Walz admin is promoting convicted sex offenders in the Dept of Ed.

The Medicaid trigger is clearly to keep its funding constitutional. Uncapped, there's the potential it would take money from schools, which Judge Jaiza Page ruled unconstitutional. Since the budget must be balanced, any $ spend on Medicaid is $ that can't be spent on schools. /s

Thank you @Russo4Ohio for acknowledging it was possible to both "fully" fund the Fair School Funding Plan & the Ohio voucher programs. Claims that vouchers are the reason for the underfunding are clearly false, invalidating the primary reason they were ruled unconstitutional.

What's laughable is a superintendent at a public school claiming "public schools have to accept everyone" while simultaneously using a racist closed enrollment policy to keep students from attending his schools. The same students private schools accept w/ vouchers.

Judge Jaiza Page just declared Ohio Medicaid unconstitutional. Using the same logic she used to declare vouchers unconstitutional, she said Medicaid was also taking money away from buying new textbooks, so it has to suffer the same fate. Just kidding. But the logic is the same.

When people say they want to take away Ohio vouchers, just a reminder of who they are hurting.

Judge Page’s ruling that Ohio’s Edchoice program is unconstitutional is egregious and poorly reasoned, ignoring mountains of previous jurisprudence on school choice. Thankful that AG Yost will appeal and vigorously defend the program all the way to the Ohio Supreme Court.

Voucher students save Ohioans over $700M in local taxes each year. Vouchers Hurt Ohio loses money when public school enrollments go down. They don't care about educating students or saving taxpayer money. They care about driving up enrollments to increase their paychecks!

Compared to almost $2B in taxes spent by the best suburban schools in Cleveland, $1B in vouchers educate more students w/ better outcomes, including thousands of students the suburban schools won't let in their doors. All while saving $700M in property taxes.

Based on this, Dems approval of Trump is higher than their approval of Dem leadership. 24% like what Trump is doing.
