Nope, Mr. Vallas, This is A False Choice. Fully funding public education should mean wholistic choices are available to students like, Technical, Trades, Arts, Sciences, and equally resourced neighborhood options; those are choices— and they should not be made to compete for resources.
Sir, how is your argument different from one that states that instead of all paying into the public fire department we have a choice to defer paying for that unlikely need and instead receive a voucher to contract with private fire crews for our homes instead?
I support fully funded fire departments. Schools too.
