From Sen. Rick Scott:
.@SenRickScott: "Earlier in February, all 50 Senate Democrats voted against requiring future aid to schools to be tied to reopening schools, even after teachers have been vaccinated."
.@SenRickScott: "Every student in this nation deserves the option of in-person learning. Is another $128 billion to schools, most of which won’t be doled out until the 2022 school year and beyond, really the right answer? No.
.@SenRickScott: "What we need are elected officials with courage who actually care more about the well-being and educational needs of our kids rather than a campaign contribution from teachers unions."

School choice doesn't "defund" public schools

Public schools defund themselves when they fail to meet the needs of families year after year.
School choice doesn't "defund" public schools
