Arizona school-choice backers promote vouchers to undocumented immigrants

School vouchers
 

A group promoting school choice in Arizona is marketing the state's controversial voucher program to Spanish-speaking parents by telling them immigration status isn't a barrier to receiving public money to attend private school.

American Federation for Children's online Spanish-language pitch states: "Arizona has a state-funded program that pays for private schools for thousands of children who live in this state. They don't verify income or immigration status. Children don't need to have or maintain certain grades."
