For a preview of one effect on education of Project 2025, look at Texas.

30 years of Republican control in Texas has overburdened ordinary families with oppressive property taxes and sales taxes. Meanwhile, public schools are notoriously underfunded and corporations skate without having to pay any income taxes.

Abbot’s answer to the school crisis: vouchers that divert even more funds from public schools to help well-heeled parents pay for tuition at private schools.

This won’t help families who can’t afford private school, even with vouchers, or those who live in rural areas too far from private schools.
