May I suggest you do a blog post on questions to ask people who support Vouchers try to dumb them down. Questions can reframe an issue without people realizing it is being reframed. these questions could be similar to the questions on this site. https://thisteachersings.wordpress.com/2017/02/19/the-voucher-wolves-are-circling/
