Trump's Push for School Choice Divides GOP

Trump’s Push for School Choice Divides GOP

Educators, including many Republicans, are worried President Donald Trump’s push for school choice could have an adverse effect on their districts.

Many rural communities are worried that giving public money to send children to private schools could lead to a loss of funding, especially in Mississippi, where a school choice bill would not provide funds for transportation, NBC News reported.

“How is it ‘choice’ when there’s no transportation or special education services provided?” Mississippi School Superintendent Tyler Hansford wrote recently on Facebook. “School choice with no transportation for families without a car is no choice at all.”
