AFT, NEA say 'a YES to this program is a YES to siphoning public dollars to private schools

AFT President Randi Weingarten and NEA President Becky Pringle urge Democratic governors "to protect families and public education in your state by saying no to the Trump private school voucher scheme."
Submitted on: June 23, 2026

AFT and NEA presidents call on Democratic governors to "Be a visible firewall against the further encroachment of privatization in our communities across America."

 A “yes” to this program is a “yes” to siphoning public dollars to private schools that are neither transparent, accountable, nor open to all families.
