It is this sentiment that has animated the teachers\u2019 unions\u2019 in Nevada to take-away Opportunity Scholarships for primarily non-White minority children and force them into the <a href=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/2022\/02\/14\/public-education-another-day-another-assault\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">child-abuse centers<\/a> known as <a href=\"https:\/\/thenevadaglobe.com\/articles\/democrats-kill-opportunity-scholarships-for-hundreds-of-low-income-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nevada Public Education<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn an unanimous vote, the Democratic majority on the Interim Finance Committee (IFC) refused to approve Governor Lombardo\u2019s proposed $3.4 million to protect hundreds of Opportunity Scholarships for low-income students. Republican members of the committee unanimously approved the funding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cDuring the lengthy hearing, numerous parents, students, and organization stressed the importance of the program, with Lombardo\u2019s Chief of Staff Ben Kieckhefer noting: \u2018Parents and families have made up their minds about school choice and they like it. I\u2019m not gonna try to convince you to like it \u2026 What I\u2019m here to ask is whether you\u2019ll allow the families and the students to continue attending the schools that they\u2019ve already chosen.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201c\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cDuring the 2015 legislative session, bill AB165 was passed providing a means for taxpayers to contribute funds to one-of-six approved Opportunity Scholarship organizations in lieu of paying all or part of their modified business tax. Although funded through tax credits, Opportunity Scholarships have been labeled by many Democrats as a \u2018scam\u2019 and a \u2018voucher program\u2019 that diverts taxpayer money from public schools.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAt the beginning of the 2023 Legislative Session, Governor Lombardo proposed increasing Opportunity Scholarship funding to $50 million through Assembly Bill 400, which Democrats referred to as a \u201cnon-starter\u201d and gutted the bill to remove the scholarship funding increase\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These scholarships were used for children who the public schools failed.
