Unions Overrule Teachers on Scholarships

A national poll finds roughly 70% of public school teachers support the new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit, but major teachers’ unions are campaigning against it. That leadership–membership split means unions may be blocking scholarship dollars from being steered toward public‑school uses even when rank‑and‑file teachers would welcome them. — If unions keep opposing rather than organizing to capture FSTC funds for public schools, scholarship flows and local school budgets — and the politics of school choice — will be reshaped around institutional vetoes rather than teacher preferences.
