Vouchers fund private schools that discriminate against students, families and staff. They lack accountability. And they just don’t work – they don’t improve students’ educational outcomes.

There are so many reasons to oppose vouchers. They threaten public education and religious freedom by forcing taxpayers to fund religious education and even religious indoctrination.

Religious extremists and their lawmaker allies are forcing all of us to live by their narrow beliefs. They are abusing religion to hurt us—to deny our basic human rights.

Real talk: I haven’t been on this platform much in recent months and in the past week I’ve been on a lot more to brag about the inspiring work we’re doing to fight abortion bans in Missouri including great press and live radio today, but this afternoon I broke down. Full crying.

It’s “School Choice Week,” a time when advocates of school vouchers launch a propaganda blitz designed to convince us that diverting money away from public schools and into the coffers of unaccountable private schools is a good idea. We’re not fans.

Religious extremists are not done. They’re looking to impose other extreme, regressive religious edicts on the country. They proposed a federal abortion ban. The right to contraception is at risk.

We aren't asking for an exemption for some believers and a ban for everyone else—we are coming after the bans themselves because they violate Missouri’s Constitution’s promise not to favor any one religion or religion over nonreligion.

Time and again on the floor of the Missouri House as they were debating the abortion bans, lawmakers repeatedly emphasized they were writing their religious beliefs into the law. Listen for yourselves 👇🏾
