A win for school vouchers!

By: Scoop Stanton

Texas Governor Gregg Abbot signed legislation that provides vouchers to parents to send their kids to private schools! As a parent of kids in public schools, this is music to my ears. As a Northern Virginia resident, I made it a point to speak with Virginia Governor Glenn Younkin and begged him to do something about school choice. He did have legislature presented in the legislature, but it got voted down. I had to deal with distance learning, strangers approaching my youngest kid on school grounds and the school waited 40 minutes to call the police. And they used the non-emergency number. I had to deal with rainbow flags in classrooms, pronouns, and a principal driving drunk one school holiday that got into a motor vehicle accident when a single-family house jumped in front of his pickup truck! Then there’s the “childless lesbians cat ladies” on the school board that thwart the will of the parents, governor and US President!  

Some of you might say: “Well Scoop, you could send your kids to private schools” Well no. First; the cost of private schools were way out of our reach. My ex wife spent the majority of my marriage either not working or working part time! And now were divorced now two properties, two separate insurance policies, and a ton of debt I incurred because of the former Mrs. Stanton! Not to mention, the cost of these schools are as much as college tuition. Even if we could afford to send our kids to private schools, most likely we still couldn’t send our kids to private schools because they are filled to capacity! You see these DC liberals are all about public schools; for your kids, not theirs!

And the teachers union is all up in arms. I see a long court battle as the teachers union don’t want to loosen their grip on our kids or be held accountable!
