Mainstream media outlets have mostly shied away from highlighting the corruption and greed at the heart of the voucher effort. What they offer instead is a false sense of balance between the perspectives of wary Democrats and the voucher proponents who merrily dismiss their concerns about the future of public schools. A perfect case in point is an April article from The New York Times about a school choice initiative in Texas, which extensively quotes an Americans for Prosperity spokesperson. According to them, the acceleration of the school voucher movement is a “forty-year hand-to-hand fight” that is “genuinely transformative, not just for Texas, but for the rest of the country.” Such rhetoric aligns with the Project 2025 initiative, which advocates for public funding of religious organizations with the clear goal of benefitting Christian institutions specifically.
