It's especially dismaying when you look at plans for states like Arizona to "stipend" for private education and rid them of public education.

The idea of giving a stipend for education isn't a bad thing. It's actually a great idea.

But compounded with the fact that historically private schools are more than happy to raise tuition and how historically certain demographics are cherry picked as more or less deserving of receiving funding, it's clear that the policies they are aiming to lower homeschooling requirements, pump money into private religious schools, and lower education quality/specifically teach what they see is worth teaching.

And the 10 states you'd expect to implement this are making moves to do so.
