Until recently, few states offered vouchers to help families pay for private schools. But over the last two years, more states have begun enacting “universal” voucher laws, which permit any school-age child in the state to attend private schools using taxpayer funds that would or could otherwise support public education. Robert Kim and Jessica Levin discuss the legal and political trends undergirding the voucher movement and why the growth of vouchers will negatively affect public schools without offering help to the students who most need it.

法律规定：学券和公共教育的未来

直到最近，很少有州提供优惠券来帮助家庭支付私立学校的费用。但在过去两年中，更多的州开始颁布“通用”学券法，允许该州的任何学龄儿童使用纳税人的资金进入私立学校，这些资金将或可以以其他方式支持公共教育。罗伯特·金和杰西卡·莱文讨论了支持学券运动的法律和政治趋势，以及为什么学券的增长会对公立学校产生负面影响，而不为最需要的学生提供帮助。
