The way to tell vouchers are a private school subsidy above all is:
The private schools retain the right to choose students and have no performance assessment or financial 🔎.
A child-centered voucher scheme would require open admissions, quality control, and $$ oversight
“Best fit for their child’s needs” is campaign-style messaging meant for editorial boards and elite Dem-types.
The real school voucher goal is and has always been subsidizing religious education. It’s not more complicated than that.

I joined @propublica reporter @JenBerryHawes on @wunc to talk about school voucher origins in resistance to racial integration—and why that painful legacy matters today.

Or, you could go to @UCDavisEcon and be around awesome people that all support and root for each other. That makes grad school pretty darn awesome.
You still don’t have any money, tho.

Great piece on what advice economists have for Governor-elect Gavin Newsom. They didn't ask any of my favorite economists (@ericlarsen @NeumarkDN @sbohnHQ), but lots of good stuff in this piece!
