Episode Details

New York is set to join a federal school choice program that lets donors get tax credits for funding private school scholarships, making it the 30th state in — a move backed by Governor Hochul and even some Democrats like Colorado’s governor, who see it as empowering parents. But teachers unions are fiercely opposing, warning it drains public schools of funds and risks deepening inequality through opaque scholarship distribution. Supporters counter that the money comes from private tax credits, not public coffers, and still benefits public school students.
