Randi Weingarten says quiet part out loud: Fears Ed Dept closure will boost school choice funds

Randi Weingarten decried school choice vouchers as a "tax credit" for wealthy families, after expressing fear Trump's spending reforms will mean more funding for them.

"We know, for example, what Texas would do," Weingarten told Jong-Fast. "They'll use it for vouchers. So they won't give [federal funding] to the kids who have it now, they'll just give it for vouchers." 

"And frankly, what we are seeing in all the programs now – in terms of vouchers – they don't work for kids," Weingarten continued. "They basically go right now – it becomes a tax credit for people who already are sending their kids to private schools. So it's income redistribution."
