Earlier this week, the state of Indiana passed a scholarship tax credit program that would grant children to use these funds to attend better suited schools, private or public. Individuals or corporations donate funds and then receive a tax credit on their donation.
Choice programs such as these allow thousands of children to gain access to better schools. Wealthy families can typically afford private schools, but lower income families cannot. Why should the children be forced to attend schools that are not providing them the education they deserve? If, as a society, we expect all children to be properly educated, why can't we give them all the same chance?
A good strong education is one of the most important tools for being successful later in life. Applauds to Indiana for passing this! Many states, including Missouri, have come close but the strong offensive groups have won. Slowly but surely, states are understanding that children and their families deserve this choice. Now...I wait until Missouri gets there.
