@piper4missouri I can tell you who is benefitting from vouchers in AZ— well-off white people who were already attending private school/ homeschool & want a govt handout. Don’t let their finger pointing get to you— it’s by design, it’s a lie & it HURTS the kids they say they will help

Former Governor @DougDucey is lying (as usual). He defunded public schools (the choice of 92% of AZ families) and forced AZ voters to fund private school vouchers against their will. NOW, AZ's budget is decimated by vouchers & Ducey's tax cuts for the wealthy... and he knows it.
