American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten was seen in a viral video saying that school choice "undermines democracy." She made the remarks in October at a conference.
Sorry, the misunderstanding comes from the fact that I intended to reply to “money is important or money isn’t important” as a either/or fallacy. Clearly, schools do need money to operate, but throwing more and more money at a school hasn’t been shown to improve academic performance. So demanding Pizza answer this doesn’t really make any point.
But there are schools, like schools in Brownsville Ms, for example, that have very poor facilities. Because they raise funding at the local level from property taxes, they can’t fix the buildings, and still make the regular budget, let alone pay for extracurriculars, sports equipment, etc. So removing funding that goes to some other school actually reduces choice.
So which is it. Money is important or money isn’t important.

Read above. I clearly laid it out
