Growing Up in a Porn Culture: How Social Media, Gaming and Pornography Harms Our Youth
VOTE YES ON 2
WHAT WILL YOU SEE ON THE BALLOT?
To give parents choices in educational opportunities for their children, are you in favor of enabling the General Assembly to provide financial support for the education costs of students in kindergarten through 12th grade who are outside the system of common (public) schools by amending the Constitution of Kentucky as stated below?
“The General Assembly may provide financial support for the education of students outside the system of common schools. The General Assembly may exercise this authority by law, Sections 59, 60, 171, 183, 184, 186, and 189 of this Constitution notwithstanding.”
WHAT IS AMENDMENT TWO?
An update to Kentucky’s Constitution to allow for more educational opportunities for parents, students, and teachers.
It puts students first, empowers parents, and increases teacher pay.
It will protect Kentucky’s public school funding and structure.
Kentucky has no educational choice program, but efforts are underway to change that. The 2024 General Assembly passed a Kentucky Constitution Amendment bill, and the Amendment will be on the November 5, 2024 ballot for voter approval.
WHAT WOULD IT DO?
Increase Teacher pay
Enhance opportunities for low-income, minority, and disabled students
Give parents more say in their child’s education
Put more money into Kentucky education
Protect public school funding
Enable Governor Beshear & lawmakers to create innovative education policies
WHY SUPPORT AMENDMENT TWO?
- Amendment 2 represents a promising future for Kentucky, allowing parents to choose the educational path that best serves their children.
- The Amendment positions Kentucky to compete more effectively with neighboring states, which have already implemented educational choices, by attracting businesses and providing in-state jobs for their youth.
- In the other 48 states where parents choose from education opportunities, the public schools remain unharmed and the favorite option for nearly 87% of the students. This fact alone debunks the assertion that parental choice harms public schools.
- More importantly, the Amendment places the students’ well-being at the forefront, regardless of their economic status, and relegates schools to serving students, not vice versa.
- The Amendment can be the catalyst needed to transform education in Kentucky as it has in other states where academic achievement has increased for both public and non-public schools. This is a beacon of hope for our entire education system. It should be embraced, not feared.
WHO ELSE HAS SCHOOL CHOICE?
