Eliminate Vouchers, Says Former Private School Teacher

Stop the Decimation of Public Education - Eliminate Vouchers! Vouchers are a threat to our public education system in the U.S. and we need to stop their expansion NOW before it's too late.

Hi everyone. My name is Scott Schroder. I'm a teacher who lost a great science teaching job in Kenosha two years ago due to Scott Walker's 1.6 billion dollar budget cuts for public education. Finding no available jobs near Racine last school year, even though I totally oppose vouchers, I accepted a job with the failed St. John Fisher Academy in Racine. The school closed due to lack of funding and total unaccountability to the state for how schools spend voucher money. I have seen personally many of the faults with the whole voucher system and I believe vouchers are unethical and a very thinly veiled attempt to kill public education in the United States. I will  post information here as it becomes available. A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel poll today shows 64% of those responding oppose any expansion of vouchers. We need to unite and tell the governor NO to this corrupt, ridiculous program.
