A new survey shows many rural voters are rejecting school choice in Texas, which has struggled to pass a policy that's been passed in other red states.
The survey from the Hobby School of Public Affairs at the University of Houston (UH) and the Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs at TSU shows that 38% of rural voters support vouchers for low-income parents compared to 52% of urban voters. However, 42% of rural voters support school choice for all parents, compared to 34%. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
The survey results also found almost 49% of taxpayers said they support providing vouchers to low-income parents to send their child to private schools.
