AFT urged to oppose tuition tax credits in Congress
The American Federation of Teachers with 500000 members urged withholding endorsements, funds, and volunteers from any congressman voting for tuition tax credits to aid private schooling. President Albert Shanker called it a life or death issue for public schools as the House passed a related bill 237-158. The IRS proposed rules would revoke tax exemptions for schools with racial discrimination or tied to desegregation. The piece also notes the U.S. Chamber endorsing a $30 billion tax cut and shifting spending to lower income taxpayers.
