Democrats brag private school vouchers are “dead” this year

DES MOINES – Liberal defenders of the state’s public school system bragged Friday morning that legislation to create school vouchers was “dead” … then asked for donations.

Iowa Democrats said “House Education Committee Chairman Walt Rogers admitted to the Des Moines Register that our public pressure worked. ‘We had the momentum somewhat, but it’s been curtailed. Just the excitement for this one issue has wavered a little.'”

Conjuring the wicked image of billionaire Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Democrats said earlier that “Betsy Devos-style education is coming to Iowa — that is if Iowa House Republicans have their way. Republicans have already introduced a bill for them to create vouchers in Iowa, which would shift money from public schools to home schools/private schools instead. If approved, their plan will strip away over $200 million from public schools and the result will be a disaster — school closings, higher class sizes, and fewer opportunities for the 92% of Iowa kids in public schools.”

Friday, it seemed that the bill wouldn’t advance, and lib’s were ecstatic.

“This victory wouldn’t have been possible without the thousands of Iowans who stepped up and made their voices heard. Together we made it crystal clear that we don’t want Betsy DeVos-style education here in Iowa, and that we’re ready to fight for the 94% of Iowa kids who attend public schools. Help support the next victory by chipping in $5 or more right now!”

Dumb Ass Liberals. Get it right or disappear. Wasn’t my comment again. More people think like me than you. That is why conservatives won snowflakes.

Anonymous – There is no such thing as Democrat/Republican there is one party and always has been, there is the illusion your vote counts, one video of many that prove this, https://youtu.be/9EhrFKocCHM, only the 13 “Royal Bloodlines” get selected for president, also they only procreated within their bloodlines, you are not related to them.

Children in private schools will have at least a 20% higher IQ and common sense when graduating and be a few years younger than those brainwashed in government facilities.

Did this article come from the Obama Wiretapping and Storm Door Company ? Leaked news my azz.

If this is true then the liberal democrats have 1 more year to brainwash the young minds.

TRUMP 2020 !!!1

the last stronghold of liberalism, the failing public school system. Could not have picked a more perfect example of liberalism. Highest cost, ever declining results. Perfect

And a new report just came out showing that vouchers do not improve education. The scores are lower, the cost is higher, and fewer students are served.

ell them that at Newman. It is a much better school than public schools.

If it’s much better, then why do Newman high school students go to Mason City High School for advanced and honors classes? My wife went to Newman and had to take all of her AP classes at the public school because Newman didn’t offer them. Get your facts straight before you comment.

Add to the above comment that Newman doesn’t take all resource eligible children either.

Newman does not accept school vouchers.

Maye your wife wasn’t smart enough to get it in the regular classes.

“Maye your wife wasn’t smart enough to get it in the regular classes.”

You have no concept of what (AP) Advanced Placement are, eh?
You have been hanging around too much with that moronic old fool that frequents this site.

Maye your wife wasn’t smart enough to get it in the regular classes.

OMG…Haha…That has to be the top pick for the stupidest person on NIT.

Report produced by the teachers union.
