美國眾議院的共和黨議員提議每年撥款高達五十億美元,用於提供獎學金,協助家庭支付孩子就讀私立或宗教學校的費用,此舉為首次嘗試以公共資金支持私立教育。

這項提案旨在推動川普總統的全國性學校選擇計畫,讓絕大多數家庭,只要收入不超過當地中位數的三倍,都有機會為孩子選擇公立學校以外的教育。

私立學校憑證的倡導者認為,它們能為那些孩子被分派到表現不佳學校的家庭提供更多選擇。

路易斯安那州的共和黨參議員比爾·卡西迪支持類似的提案,他表示讓父母能為孩子選擇最好的教育,才能實現美國夢。

此計劃會由捐款人贊助,他們可以捐款或捐贈股票。捐款人將獲得全額的捐款稅務折扣,以作為回報,這樣股票持有人便能避免捐贈或轉讓股票的稅款。

批評者強烈反對這項提案,他們認為這會犧牲許多學生所依賴的公立學校,只為了讓有錢人受益。他們說,這會製造一個稅務上的漏洞,讓聰明的投資者可以假借捐款的名義賺大錢。

同時,川普政府正在縮小教育部的規模,並減少對公立學校的資助,其中包含針對心理健康和教師培訓的補助。

學校監督協會的薩莎·普德爾斯基認為,這是一個嚴重問題,並指出有憑證計劃的州經常只幫助原本就能負擔私校學費的家庭。她補充說,這會加劇全國憑證計劃中普遍存在的浪費和濫用情況。

德州等保守州推行學費補助和私校券計畫已相當普遍,該州近期通過十億美元的計畫;公立學校支持者憂心這些計畫會影響入學率與經費,導致選擇公校的家庭資源減少。
