    Teachers Unions Try To Protect Their Monopoly as Parents Flee Traditional Schools

    As families flock to virtual charter schools and "pandemic pods," California blocks the money from following the child.
    ...

    "If you really care about students and their safety, you should want more options for more students to be able to spread out in different locations," says DeAngelis. "And this doesn't do that. But what it does do is it allows the teachers unions to block students from switching to their competition."

    and on that note, Sen. Rand Paul wants to help families find a route around the public school monopoly.

    Sen. Rand Paul (R–Ky.) is introducing a bill to redirect federal K–12 education dollars to fund families directly. This would be a great step toward putting the needs of kids and parents before the needs of the public school monopoly. ...

    The SCHOOL Act, which Sen. Paul introduced on Wednesday, would allow a large portion of existing federal education dollars to follow students to wherever they received an education—be it in a public school, a private school, or a homeschooling option. This is how several other tax-funded initiates work, from Pell Grants to pre-K programs to food stamps. Although federal revenues account for only about eight percent of total K–12 education funding, the SCHOOL Act would provide substantially more dollars directly to families each year than the School Choice Now Act that was just introduced by Sens. Tim Scott (R–S.C.) and Lamar Alexander (R–Tenn.) two weeks ago.

    The federal government shouldn't be involved at all.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.

    Perhaps so. We can see what particular states are doing and that ain't so great, either.

    I hate the whole system of claws.
