CONGRESS BILLS

ROUND 1

A Resolution to Condemn School Voucher Programs
1 WHEREAS School voucher programs rob struggling public schools of the funding they need to operate
2 efficiently; and
3 WHEREAS School voucher programs disproportionately benefit students whose backgrounds already
4 predispose them for better educational outcomes and do so at the expense of their less
5 privileged peers; and
6 WHEREAS School vouchers inappropriately funnel the tax money of U.S. families into private schools
7 that are not held to the same standards of equity, inclusion, and integrity as public schools
8 are; now, therefore be it
9 RESOLVED by the Congress here assembled that the existence of school voucher programs, namely
10 programs that allow a family to utilize the tax money set aside for their child’s public school
11 education in order to send that child to private school instead, is roundly condemned as a
12 great societal ill; and be it
13 FURTHER RESOLVED that Congress calls upon the sixteen states that currently maintain voucher
14 programs, as well as the District of Columbia, to abandon these programs as soon as is
15 practicable; and be it
16 FURTHER RESOLVED that Congress implores all states, territories, and the Federal District to pursue
17 educational policies that promote equity, inclusion, and integrity for all our students.
