School vouchers are currently a popular topic among politicians and interest groups pushing to defund public schools and shift taxpayer funds to private for-profit or religious institutions. “By funneling public taxpayer money away from public schools, [vouchers] whittle away the ability to provide a high-quality education that is free at the point of service to all children in a community. This allows continued claims of a failing public education system. Yet, what is truly at stake is the future of a system that operates for the common good.”
