Opponents of school choice are against Gov. Josh Shapiro as VP pick due to his alignment with Project 2025 policies.

As the election season heats up, all eyes are on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. Many believe he could be a strong choice for Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate. However, not everyone is on board with this potential decision. In particular, he is not a favorite among the anti-school-choice crowd. This has led to a push from teachers' unions across the country to prevent him from becoming the Democratic vice-presidential nominee.

A group of twenty-eight organizations, all dedicated to advocating for public education, have joined forces to try and block Shapiro's potential nomination. They argue that his stance on school choice goes against their beliefs and values. These unions believe that Shapiro's support for charter schools and vouchers is a threat to the public education system. They fear that if he were to become Vice President, he would push for policies that would take away funding and resources from traditional public schools.

On the other hand, supporters of Shapiro argue that he has a strong record of fighting for education and investing in public schools. They point to his efforts to increase funding for schools, raise teacher salaries, and expand access to early childhood education. They also highlight his work to hold charter schools accountable for their performance and ensure they do not take resources away from traditional public schools.

Despite the controversy surrounding his potential nomination, Shapiro remains a top contender for the position. He has a strong track record as a leader and has been praised for his efforts to combat corruption and protect consumers. Additionally, his background as a former prosecutor could bring a unique perspective to the ticket.

Only time will tell if Shapiro will ultimately be chosen as Harris' running mate. But one thing is for sure, the debate over his stance on school choice will continue to be a point of contention among educators and advocates.
