Rep. Burgess Owens, R-Utah, explained why he supports more school choice, and said parents should have more say over elementary education.
Republican presidential candidate and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott has introduced companion legislation in the U.S. Senate.

But critics of the policy argue that it harms public education by taking money out of the public school system and giving it to private institutions that are less transparent. Democrats have also said school choice programs disproportionately benefit students who are already well-off financially, because private school tuition sometimes exceeds the amount covered by scholarships.
