They will still have the choice of the $25K/tuition private schools as I doubt vouchers will be anywhere near this amount.

So the hoi paloi will still be stuck with public schools or one of the many privates schools that will spring up in empty malls and church, synagogue and mosque basements.
Not sure where you get the $25K dollar figure...See what vouchers cost on this graft:

Most state voucher programs is equal or close to what it cost in public schools.

Since the last KKK politician, Byrd, died out, there are no more white power politicians in either main stream party; therefore, they support the party that is for freedom of speech and association.

Do you think tax dollars, in the form of vouchers, should fund schools of all religions and creed?

Duke also told the LA Times that Trump’s proposed policies, like building a wall along the border with Mexico and banning Muslims from entering the country, show the country is open to a white power message. “He’s talking about it in a visceral way,†Duke said. “Donald Trump is talking implicitly. I’m talking explicitly.â€

Nah, most of the top dawgs in government have come out of the New Class. Within those ranks, someone like DeVos is an utter outsider and vulgarian. To the rest of us, we just don't care about that. If she isn't one of THEM, well, that's a resume enhancer.
