Today’s Supreme Court ruling means that now in Kentucky, a 12-year-old girl who is raped and impregnated by her father, has no options.
It is unconscionable that this extreme, total ban provides no exception for that child or any other survivors of rape or incest. ^JC

If a private school can turn away a child with special needs, it shouldn't be able to use public tax dollars to discriminate against them. Public dollars are for public school kids.

"School choice" already exists in Kentucky. We have 171 public school districts with open enrollment that all play by the same rules.
What will be on the ballot in November is school vouchers that will send state tax dollars to private schools that don't play by the same rules.

I believe the override of

As the saying goes, we are entitled to our own opinions, but not to our own facts. These are the facts about school vouchers- and just a few reasons we don't want them in Kentucky.

School vouchers have failed to produce results over and over again. And worse, school voucher funding has blasted enormous holes in every state budget. There is no reason for Kentucky to fall for the school voucher scam. This November, vote no on Amendment 2.

Kentucky courts have consistently ruled that state tax dollars must remain in public schools.
HB2 would overturn SEVEN sections of the constitution just to fund unaccountable private schools.
This would devastate public education, and it would break our rural school districts.
