New York has joined a federal school choice program backed by former President Trump, with Governor Kathy Hochul signing the state into participation amid strong opposition from teachers unions. The move expands access to private school options for families through tax credits, a policy critics argue undermines public education funding and collective bargaining rights. Teachers unions have condemned the program as a threat to public schools, while supporters frame it as a way to provide more educational opportunities. The decision comes as debates over school choice intensify across the country.
