  1. For decades studies have proven that the public school system has been a failure since the government got involved. Test scores prove it.

    Decades of studies have also shown that an increase in funding never results in an increase in higher test scores.

    Lastly, wouldn't publicly funding charter schools result in all members of the public becoming legally entitled to attending the charter school of their choice if they so desire. In other words they would be constitutionally protected to not be denied based on race creed or religion?

    I see this as limiting a child's ability to choose the education they feel is better suited for them.

  2. Smart man. Tennessee is going back to the civil war days with Betsy Devos money

  3. I guess Kentucky still has one good person

  4. 99% of the people commenting on this are democrats 😂🤣

  5. That was a lot of me me me and I I I. What about your constituents?

  6. WHO CARES. ALL YOU TEACH TODAY: HOW TOO BLAME THE WHITE RACE FOR EVERYTHING AND HOW TOO TEACH YOUR KIDS TOO PICK A GENDER?? HOME SCHOOL USA….IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT YOUR KIDS TOO LEARN SOMETHING????😳😳😳😳

  7. They really tried to make Kentucky look stupid. Thanks Andy.

  8. Stand your ground Andy.

  9. Summary: We need to invest in systems where we maintain control of the narrative in which we want to brainwash our youth. Shut up and put your mask on kids while the rest of us live as we please.

  10. Lmfao nothing but deadbeat teachers in the comment section😂

  11. A disgrace to our Commonwealth

  12. Raises are well and good for good teachers. The ones who also work with the parents of the kids they teach. They do not want those who teach CRT!!!..Deal with it!!

  13. I really needed this. i have never been so proud to be a Louisvillain. As someone who Lives in Jefferson County – i'm genuinely in tears that Beshear is keeping for profit schools away from KY. Thank you Governor.

  14. Common sense politician why can't we have more of them god bless you sir

  15. Well this is the last you will see this guy

  16. That's funny there's like nobody in there and he's like talking to somebody apparently he likes talking to himself thank God you don't run my state and inherit mother f

  17. This guy's so racist and you guys voted for this guy

  18. The State Legislature will simply override the Communist governors veto. He won't be reelected.
    Tsk…tsk..gee that's a shame

  19. Don’t use tax payers fund, the purpose of these schools is to teach an$ educate kids important stuff, not condoms,critical race crap, woke up, are you a girl or a boy? …… government will ruin it with their perverted rhetoric, and policy

  20. Hope more states follow this path

  21. can't believe this is how low the bar has been set in this country lol

  22. Why should taxpayers have to pay for Marxist indoctrination centers.

  23. Nothing wrong with Charter schools … really should be parents choice ! Schools today aren’t the same as when we were kids ! Invest in both !

  24. Take a good look at this wonderful governor, Biden. He is a winner!

  25. Private schools are like private jails . For profit. Not for good of students .

  26. He has got to be a Democrat! No Repub would be this smart!!!

  27. Didn't know Kentucky had smart politicians! Beshear is clear, consistent, and smart! I am impressed! Bravo, Beshear.

  28. What a great governor!!!

  29. Betsy Devil is somewhere fighting the air. 🤣🤣🤣

  30. Voucher system that follows the kids. That's how you insure that GOOD schools are funded. Not this pathetic system that currently exists.
