State Democrats vote to rip scholarships away from kids
Scheming would target low-income students, cut funding for special-needs children, aim at education choice

On Tuesday, Pennsylvania House Democrats on the Education Committee quietly did something extraordinary — and not in a good way.

With barely a day's notice and not even posting a public committee notice, they passed a series of bills that would decimate educational options in Pennsylvania.

The first bill, House Bill (HB) 2632, would gut the state's most successful educational choice programs, strip scholarships from low-income students, and slam the door on tens of thousands more who are desperately waiting to get in.

Another bill, HB 2634, would cut funding to all charter schools, with an especially harmful reduction in support for special-needs students.

It shouldn't be surprising democrats would do this.  It has been known for over 250 years republics can't survive without and educated population and is mentioned in some founding documents.  That is the exact reason so many Muslim countries deny or limit females a right to an education.  They know it too.
