Education
$4.2 Million – ESA “Payday” Begins!!!
ClassWallet gets $4.2 million for a program that is likely to be found unconstitutional
Do you support 100% government run private school choice? Aside from maybe the military … do you support 100% government run anything? #NO!!!
So why do people support “Education Savings Accounts” … or the falsely named “Universal School Choice”? They are both 100% government run. Conservatives should oppose that right? Especially in a state with a Republican super majority.
Weird right. 😉
Well, folks “think“ they support ESAs and the new buzzword, “Universal School Choice”, because there is a TON of monied special interest dollars “marketing” these terms to good conservatives.
As we teach … beware of the mental manipulation and the collective illusion (HERE).
“Universal School Choice” sounds great … but dig deeper … and think 10 or 20 years from now what a 100% government run “Universal School Choice” program (as the term is used by monied special interest today) really means.
ESA vs TCS
SC EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP ACCOUNTS: Recall that South Carolina passed it’s bastardized (to put it kindly) version of 100% government run school choice ESAs in May 2023 to much monied special interest fanfare. Well guess what, as we predicted, the “new” ESA is already been sued and is currently tied up in the South Carolina Supreme Court (HERE). The case is not scheduled for oral arguments until March 6th, 2024 at 10:30am … if there are no delays.
TAX CREDIT SCHOLARSHIPS: We on the other hand support and fight for Tax Credit Scholarships … like the PACE / ACE Scholarship Bill (S285) which is 100% free-market, and 100% constitutional … literally bullet-proof legally. It is the grandaddy of school choice … 350,000 kids a year get private tax credit scholarships annually in about 30 states … and NEVER has a Tax Credit Scholarship program been shut down as unconstitutional. It is the best of ALL worlds … and guess what … we don’t get paid to push Tax Credit Scholarships (or S285) … and we don’t know anybody in America that get’s paid to push Tax Credit Scholarships. Why? Because their is no huge profit for anyone to make!!! Tax Credit Scholarships just work, are 100% constitutional, and they take care of kids.
But the monied special interest are all pushing “ESAs” and the falsely named “Universal School Choice” bills. Why? BECAUSE THEY GET PAID!
And the ESA PAYDAYs have started in South Carolina. The first one last month … $4.2 MILLION … but that is just the tip of the iceberg.
$4.2 MILLION
This is just the start of what we predicted would be HALF A BILLION (if not more) into the pockets of the monied special interest with the passage of South Carolina’s Education Savings Account Bill (S39) … see HERE … but to see the actual contract award of the first $4.2 MILLION turns your stomach.
On a personal note … it is especially disgusting as the monied special interest “lackeys” accuse us of only doing what we do for school choice for the money. Ha … we call that “projection”! The only problem is the folks that accuse us of such are generally too stupid to realize they are being played. You know who they are. 😉
And remember … because of the Eidson, et al. vs. SC Department of Education, et al. lawsuit to shut down the ESA in South Carolina (HERE) … AGAIN, for the third time … why are we awarding this ClassWallet company a $4.2 million contract for a program that is likely to be found unconstitutional … AGAIN, for the third time … in the next six months?
We may not like these monied special interest people like ClassWallet who care more about self than service … but the real sad part is (#1) the kids who are losing because of ESAs and will not be served … and (#2) the general long term effects of expanding government “indoctrination” education, and specifically the loss of true private education given the government strings attached to ESAs.
Remember … just say NO to money with government strings attached and no independent protections!!! South Carolina has a “Republican” super majority … we do not have to accept government strings.
#SaveOurSchools!!!
Who is ClassWallet?
We will have more on these guys later … but WOW, do they have a good gig going … if you don’t mind selling out children to line your own pockets.
But, that is capitalism … the free-market would normally take care of a company like that. What we don’t like are the ELECTED OFFICIALS that help companies like ClassWallet … the legislators that put their finger on the scale and destroy the free-market in order to line their own pockets.
Stay tuned …

The opposition hates it so much … and we temporarily had to move it to a local DENNY’S restaurant … because they actually filed a ZONING / Business Use violation as we were not authorized to have public meetings inside our HQ (outside is OK) as we are just formally permitted as a “business office” AND a PODCAST STUDIO!!! Yes, we are formally permitted at our HQ as a PodCast Studio … so guess what we can do!!!
We are now LIVESTREAMING the meeting not just for our local Greenville Friends … but also statewide (and worldwide as we have had members watch from Europe & even from a transatlantic cruise).
