Stop The Lawsuit Against Florida's Tax Credit Scholarships (Step Up For Students)
Florida’s
important Tax Credit Scholarship is under attack by several
organizations that opposed educational choice, including
the Florida Education Association (the state’s largest teacher union),
the Florida School Boards Association,
the Florida PTA, the Florida Association of School Administrators, the
Florida NAACP and the League of Women Voters of Florida.
These groups are suing to eliminate the Tax Credit Scholarship, which has done so much good for so many children.
These groups don’t seem to care that the scholarship has been around for
13 years and there are 68,000 students who would be yanked out of their
scholarship schools, where things are going well.
They seem more concerned about putting these children back in the public
school system than about whether these children are actually learning.
They think this program takes money from them, but they overlook
the fact that it is not a government-funded program.
Tax-credit scholarship programs allow businesses to claim tax credits
for donations made to state-approved organizations, which then provide
money for eligible students to use toward tuition at private schools.
The scholarship program is helping some of the poorest children in our
state, and their parents deserve to have an option. If you qualify,
you should have the choice to send your child to a school of your choice
through a scholarship funded by donations.
Don't let these special-interest groups take this scholarship away from our children!!
Please sign the petition, and share it with others. Be a voice for these kids!!
