One person who takes credit for the rapid advance of vouchers, which send public dollars to private and religious schools, is named Corey De Angelis. You probably never heard of him. He works for Betsy DeVos. He hates public schools, although he is a product of public schools. The taxpayers paid for his free education, but now he wants to divert money from public schools to private ones. We now know that most vouchers are claimed by families whose children are already enrolled in private schools. The voucher is a subsidy for them. Frequently, the school hikes its tuition by the amount of the voucher. Why does Corey hate public schools? It’s a puzzlement.
Carol Burris, executive director of the Network for Public Education, wrote this post:
Corey De Angelis works for Betsy De Vos’s American Federation for Children, which pays him to travel the country hawking ESA vouchers. He directs its PAC to destroy candidates who oppose vouchers.
De Angelis obsessively hates teacher unions, calls public schools “government schools,” believes that telling the truth is, at best, a suggestion, and has dubbed himself the “school choice evangelist.”
During a recent interview at the Heritage Foundation, De Angelis defined public schools like this: “failing unionized indoctrination centers that we call schools.” His contempt for public education was apparent from beginning to end. Here is a clip from that interview and NPE’s response on his mission to destroy our public schools.
Just to note this guy may well not actually hate public schools, teachers’ unions etc. He’s paid to profess those beliefs. If someone came along and paid him more to support public schools and teachers’ unions, he’d most likely totally change his tune. We should assume all the well-paid mouthpieces for so-called school choice have no principles and are for sale to the highest bidder.
Working from home, I earn $165 per hour. When my neighbor told me she was now making an average of $95, I was very astonished, but now (ubd-83) I understand how it works. I now have a great deal of freedom thanks to becoming my own employer.

LELAC72935,
Are you a prostitute?
I’m sure that most people recognize the trollish clickbait, but just in case: do not under any circumstances click on this person’s link.
I think Lelac72935 is a dominatrix. That’s a lot of money. Since I have gotten the same comment from two different addresses, I assume it’s a programmed message. DO NOT CLICK ON THAT LINK!
Yeah, some Russian bot, perhaps.
Pretensions Of Religious Sentiment (PORS) have provided con artists of every stripe with their go-to foot in the door from time immemorial to the donny-come-lately bible peddlers of our own benighted days. And that’s all we see here — Phony Religion In The Service Of Capitalism.
Reality is stranger than fiction.
In books and films the wealthy and powerful bad guys often get eliminated or locked up.
In real life, that seems to never happen, unless your poor.
After years, maybe decades even, WordPress has never asked me to log in for every comment I leave. Now it’s happening for every comment I make. Even two or three in a row to the same site.
Maybe that’s WordPress’s AI that’s causing it.
That’s strange, LLOYD. Never heard of that.

There fixed it!
Washington Post 6/3/24. “Billions in taxpayer dollars now go to religious schools via vouchers . The rapid expansion of state voucher programs follows court decisions that have eroded the separation between church and state.
School vouchers can be used at almost any private school, but the vast majority of the money is being directed to religious schools, according to a Washington Post examination of the nation’s largest voucher programs.”

Funny how these idiot young people are always hired by oligarchs to work at some Think Tank where thinking tanks and given the title, at age 26, of “Senior Fellow.” And then they describe themselves on their bios as “Thought Leaders.” This would be a bad joke if the oligarchical machinery did not run this country. Which is crazy because I should be running this country.–From The Teachings of Enlightened Master Bob
A Senior Fellow at age 26? I assume they were called “scholars” beginning in kindergarten. Maybe finished high school with an honorary doctorate.
