Episode Details

Missouri parents are rallying against Amendment 5, a ballot measure that could slash school funding by shifting the state’s tax base from income to sales tax, risking an 18% budget cut and worsening resource gaps—especially for students with special needs. While supporters tout it as a pro-business, pro-growth reform that could attract investment and reduce taxes, opponents warn it’s a gamble with education’s future, arguing lawmakers lack safeguards to protect schools. Governor Mike Kehoe backs the change, citing population loss and economic competitiveness, but grassroots parent groups are mobilizing nationwide to defend public education, emphasizing that every child deserves quality learning regardless of zip code.
