School Choice Scam: The Right's Dismantling of Public Education is a community event and advocacy discussion scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2026, in Rockford, Illinois.

Hosted by the Education Committee of Stateline Indivisible, the event focuses on organized strategic attacks on public education and potential community actions to address them.

This event follows a recent advisory referendum in Winnebago County during the March 2026 primary, where a majority of voters expressed support for Illinois opting into a federal school choice tax-credit program. Opponents of the program argue it serves as a "clandestine school voucher program" that drains resources from public schools, a central theme of the upcoming Stateline Indivisible event.
