Gov. Healey should reject the federal education voucher program
The article argues against Massachusetts Governor Healey joining a federal school voucher program proposed under the Trump administration's Project 2025, citing historical ties to segregation and risks to public education quality. It highlights tax-credit scholarships that favor private school funding over public schools, with no accountability for academic standards or special needs education.
