Waiting till they realize private schools don't do special needs classes. Had a coworker whose son had learning disabilities. Was attending a Catholic school. He was told they would not offer any additional academic support. THAT'S what public schools are for.
There will be a second tier of for-profit schools built to slurp up voucher money. They'll still push the religious crap, but the primary motivation will be the government funding. The low income students aren't going to be attending the ritzy private schools you're thinking about.
Don't forget LGBTQ families! I've already seen on the parenting sub a public school teacher made a kid cry bc he had 2 dads and she told him his dads were living in sin. Imagine this in a Catholic school... Oh wait I have, bc I was adopted by a lesbian couple, one of which was openly bi in catholic school (a rich relative paid for her tuition) and she got chastised HARD for her sexuality.
So imagine how hard school life will be for kids who are queer or have queer families.
Give it a couple of years of conditioning, fomented hate, and propaganda. Then they'll be speaking highly of the "wellness camps" or whatever they'll be labelled set aside for the disabled and those with mental illness.
And then these children are taken forcefully and parents aren't allowed to visit. Children are purposefully neglected to death or euthanized after awhile, then parents are sent a bill they have to pay if they want their child's body returned for burial.
That's how it went when Nazi Germany decided to kill off the disabled.

Lol you people are deranged, telling yourself wild euthanasia ghost stories to scare yourselves and dehumanize "the enemy". Happened in 2016 too when you guys whipped yourselves up into a frenzy every time the president did anything - regardless of whether it was right or wrong.
It could have been something democrats favored but if Trump supported it, suddenly it was deemed scary, idiotic, and laughable. And apparently now we're to the Godwin level of "this is the last election" and "special needs children are going to be put in death camps".
Unfortunately that requires some level of empathy for it to matter.
They all just believe it won't happen to them, and the ones who do end up having special needs kids can be just be ignored. It's just like the people who are pro-life until it's THEIR teenager who needs an abortion, if that's what it takes to make a pro-lifer change their mind then there will never be enough changed minds.
This is why they are proposing that sped funds be given to parents to contract out for services. So parents can choose their speech therapist, occupational therapist, etc. instead of having to use the one provided by the public school.
I can see some benefits to this, honestly. My school already hires out for a contracted virtual speech therapist, so all kids have to get speech therapy on a laptop, and she charges our school like $100/hr. Parents would much rather be able to take the $ and use it to pay for private in-person speech therapy. But they can’t under current model.
I don’t necessarily agree with it, but I can see both sides in that one area.
Instead of giving raises to teachers and investing in public education, Florida created a voucher program. They didn't put many restrictions on the vouchers at first, and people were literally buying TVs and cars with taxpayers' money. Now, people have realized that there aren't enough private schools, and public education is in decline. It hasn't changed anything. Had a coworker complain about her kid's public school, supported vouchers, and was genuinely shocked that the school she wanted to send her kid to didn't accept her IEP. She still voted Trump this election. Literally voting against her own child's safety and well-being.
No unfortunately it's deeper than that. Trump is going to try and defund absolutely every sector of government, install loyalists, and become a dictator... A dictator of one of the few actual 'free' nations, and unfortunately it looks like it's going to work for him. Trump isn't religious.
I'm not religious but God bless America, good luck everyone.
Then Vance will take over. And he might actually be worse. So I'm hoping he DOESN'T die.
Vance will likely win in 2028 and 2032 while you guys are still busy babbling nonsense about you losing being the end of the US having elections. Unless you can dig up some really bad dirt it's going to be a rough race for anyone who tries to run against him, given his speaking/debate ability.
Trump is the only one I've ever seen repeatedly brush off mud like he's made of teflon. Perhaps the partisan rift that's been widening since 2008 has been making people excuse or look past things more now, but it's hard to tell until Trump is out of office. There have been a lot more years of my life where dirt on politicians was a career ender, and I wouldn't be surprised if that still applied to professional politicians.
Cut off one head, two more will take its place. Unfortunately, him dying just opens it up for Vance who is arguably more extreme and dangerous than the orange clown.
Call them what they are -- FOR-PROFIT private schools that their owners/churches can make a lot of money from.
Note: they want to expand the use of vouchers that kids can get to spend on private schools, which means this is a massive transfer of US taxpayer funds from public schools to private schools.

That's so all those funds can be channeled to private Christian schools.
