Vouchers lose at the ballot box. So how do they keep winning? Vouchers lose when voters get a say, yet they keep spreading. That’s not a mystery; it’s a business plan. For 30+ years, a small circle of billionaires has funded think tanks, lobbyists, and candidate...

Do you want churches to run public schools? Right-wing efforts to create church-run public schools have ramped back up; it's all part of a long-term plan to force states to fund religious education.
