Shapiro’s past support for school vouchers championed by billionaires and the GOP disqualifies him, activists say.

Ah yes, the solution is to give a few students in each poorly-funded school district the opportunity to go to a well-funded private school instead of just funding the public schools.

The charter school grift is evolving.

That’s a good reason to not consider him. I thought he was only being considered bc he was a big name in a swing state.

Does Shapiro even want the job? I feel like I have yet to hear a speech from Shapiro himself.

That’s one good reason not to use him. Gaza is another.

Or the thing about his former cabinet secretary’s sexual harassment issue.

From the Daily Beast:

A fellow Democrat […] tweeted last week that she wanted a vice presidential pick who “doesn’t sweep sexual harassment under the rug.”

In his reply:

The governor’s office highlighted his “long track record of protecting survivors and prosecuting predators” when he was attorney general, including exposing "child sexual abuse and cover-ups within the Catholic Church.”

I’m really worried that given her announcement event will be in Philadelphia, it’s going to be Shapiro, and that is going to be a massive footgun on her part.
