I'm always in tremendous awe of remarkable grassroots activists. They are few in number (a scathing indictment of the millions who complain but don't act), but the heart of every step forward throughout history.
In Indiana where I live, things are even worse. Virtually everyone can get a voucher to a charter religious or for -profit school, regardless of income, and the Republican supermajority legislature now wants to give parents $7000 per student to homeschool, with no oversight. So if you have five children you are homeschooling, that's $35,000. Of course this money will be taken from the public schools. This bill hasn't passed yet, but I have no doubt it will soon--if not this year, then next.
