Just saw Rep. Emery's article from last year: Way to go Rep. Emery!! Thank you for getting the facts out. Parental Choice such as tax credits in Education can only come when ignorance of the facts is defeated in the rumor wars that union( NEA and state unions ) power money mongers have created. The more choices you give American parents the more new and innovative ideas you will see across the board in education. Parents know, teachers know,,,children don't need unions,, they need their parents to work together,,, be involved,,, and teachers to be set free to teach in a safe environment. CHOICE/freedom does that. Tax payers have literally earned the right to take care of their children in America. A right the NEA and some in the MSTA would keep from parents. The only thing holding parents back right now is the almighty far left wing control freak elitists at the top of union hierarchy who think American parents don't love their kids enough to make great educational choices. Tax Credits are a great way to encourage families to "get in the game". When you build the family,,, you build a great state! Thank you Representative Emery for believing in Missouri's parents and teachers.
