$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 …

Veterans Day 2025

& Poland Independence Day!

Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with holidays in several countries, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which also occur on the anniversary of the end of World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May: Veterans Day commemorates the service of all U.S. veterans, while the older Memorial Day, which grew out of Civil War commemorations, specifically honors those who have died while in military service. Another military holiday that also occurs in May, Armed Forces Day, honors those currently serving in the U.S. military. Additionally, Women Veterans Day is recognized by a growing number of U.S. states that specifically honor women who have served in the U.S. military.

BONUS CONTENT – POLAND INDEPENDENCE DAY: Independence Day (Polish: Narodowe Święto Niepodległości) is a national day in Poland celebrated on 11 November to commemorate the anniversary of the restoration of Poland’s sovereignty as the Second Polish Republic in 1918 from the German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires. Following the partitions in the late 18th century, Poland ceased to exist for 123 years until the end of World War I, when the destruction of the neighboring powers allowed the country to reemerge. It is a non-working day and a flag flying day in Poland.
