SCEA President Sherry East on SC Supreme Court Blocking Private School Voucher Program

Melissa Watson Ward sits down with South Carolina Education Association President Sherry East. The two discuss the recent South Carolina Supreme Court ruling that public funds cannot be used to support vouchers, explain that the ruling is in favor of keeping public dollars in public schools, and highlight the importance of public education for the community and the workforce. They also address the problematic aspects of vouchers, such as the potential for private schools to pick and choose students and the lack of accountability for public tax dollars. The conversation emphasizes the need to stay vigilant and hold legislators accountable for their votes on voucher-related issues.
