Amy Klobuchar is silent about helping students

Apparently, Sen. Amy Klobuchar needs to get permission from Education Minnesota to see if it's ok to help K-12 students. Sen. Klobuchar is running for governor for Minnesota, a job that REQUIRES decision-making skills. This is different from Sen. Klobuchar's question-ducking skill. Apparently, Sen. Klobuchar's question-ducking ability is greater than her decision-making ability.

According to the article, "Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a candidate for Minnesota governor, is silent on whether she would opt Minnesota into a federal tax credit program that could generate millions of new dollars for the state’s K-12 students.

Why is she silent? According to the article, "Last year, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act created a federal tax credit which gives individuals a dollar-for-dollar reduction in their federal tax bill up to $1,700. In order to qualify for the tax credit, a taxpayer must donate to a scholarship-granting organization (SGO)." The money doesn't come out of a state's general fund. It comes from private citizens who get a tax credit when they contribute to a scholarship fund.

Word is that Education Minnesota doesn't like this because people might apply for scholarhips to send their children to private or parochial schools.

The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) has estimated that opting in would generate $810 million over three years for Minnesota students if a modest number of state taxpayers used the tax credit. Failure to opt in would mean all of that potential money goes elsewhere.

Meanwhile, the Minnesota Department of Education has said the program incentivizes enrollment outside public schools, and Democrats have claimed the tax credit is essentially a school voucher program that benefits private schools at the expense of public schools.

Education can't handle that modest bit of competition? That's pathetic! The quality of Education Minnesota's education product must really be pathetic if it can't stand that little competition. The DFL doesn't have a problem funding NPOs and NGOs where fraud runs rampant:

They just hate private citizens contributing to scholarship funds. Apparently, Sen. Klobuchar hates that, too. QUESTION: Why is Sen. Klobuchar afraid of competition? Why is the DFL afraid of competition? Is it because the DSA insists on controlling competition? Shame on Sen. Klobuchar for being just another plantation slave for Education Minnesota.+
