Opinión Publicada
Dominic Calabro, Florida TaxWatch: “Análisis basado en evidencia del Florida Tax Credit Scholarship ha demostrado en repetidas ocasiones que el programa es una opción de aprendizaje valiosa para los estudiantes con de bajos ingresos y ahorra dinero de los impuestos al mismo tiempo.”
Julio Fuentes, Hispanic Council for Reform and Educational Options: “La razón que una coalición de líderes negros, hispanos y judíos en la Florida son apasionados con las opciones de aprendizaje para los niños pobres es la misma razón que la gente de todo el país se ha quedado en lágrimas por un nuevo documental llamado ‘Waiting For Superman.’ Lo que nos duele es ver a cualquier niño siendo negada una oportunidad genuina educación.”
Rev. H.K. Matthews, civil rights leader: “El Florida Tax Credit no es una solución para todos los niños, pero es una herramienta para ayudar a los educadores públicos en sus esfuerzos para llegar a los niños en riesgo. … Muchos de nuestros niños están fallando y abandonando sus escuelas, y no tengo paciencia para aquellos que quieren negarles oportunidades educativas.”
