Potential #KamalaHarris VP pick #JoshShapiro has already been called out for a questionable record on the war on #Gaza. It turns out his support for #PublicSchools looks pretty dodgy, too: "Pennsylvania already has a tax credit scholarship #SchoolVoucher program, and it has produced striking discrimination against students based on religion, #LGBTQ+ status, and, in at least one case, arbitrary reasons they don’t have to disclose to the family." https://progressive.org/public-schools-advocate/why-education-advocates-shouldnt-get-behind-josh-shapiro-as-harris-vice-president-greene-20240726/?mc_cid=9e162e7654&mc_eid=42caf3e016

“Nevertheless, #Ohio Gov. Mike #DeWine has put forward a budget proposal to expand #schoolvoucher subsidies that would send money to private, for-profit, & religious ventures.”
Curious how folks like #schoolvoucher advocates want us to focus only on admin data when it comes to disproving a teacher shortage…..but want us to ignore admin test score data and focus only on parent satisfaction.
If parent voices are relevant to evaluating #schoolchoice outcomes in policy evaluation, then #educators voices are relevant to the #teachershortage debate.

This is going to get interesting. The state senate rejected an earlier attempt to pass a #schoolvoucher plan, in part, because of the objections of rural politicians.
