Georgia Republicans think their own pride should come first and that children should come last, writes ZacharyFaria. 'It is a remarkable failure of governance, even if the hurt feelings explanation is more than just a cover story.'
Georgia Republicans withdrew a bill that would have established a $6,000-per-student voucher program, expanding school choice in the state. Why? Because they disapproved of a flyer campaign by the American Federation for Children, an organization that supports school choice. According to Georgia House Speaker David Ralston, the flyer campaign attacked Georgia Republicans “very viciously.”
But Georgia Republicans apparently decided that the act was so offensive that they would simply tank the bill. “That voucher legislation will not move at all in the Georgia House of Representatives this year, period,” Ralston said. This is far worse than Utah GOP Gov. Spencer Cox using school choice as a political tool for teachers’ salary negotiations. Georgia Republicans, who have repeatedly failed to pass similar versions of the current bill, are offended that a group is pushing them finally to pass one. They are so offended that they are simply taking their ball and going home. The bill isn’t being dropped because of negotiations or logistical concerns or other priorities: It’s being dropped because of spite.
