Texas governor to sign largest US school voucher law, marking conservative shift

[snot]

3. What's really frustrating

is that most districts in Texas, even the conservative ones, don't want this. There are few private school options in rural districts (nor are more likely to materialize, since such areas lack sufficient population to sustain them), and they understand that the voucher system will be at the expense of their public schools. So they as well as more liberal districts have resisted vouchers for years; but Abbott & conservatives in the legislature have been determined to ram it through, and have finally succeeded.

Another example of the complete disconnect between what people actually want and what our big donor-owned representatives do.
