Jay-Z's Roc Nation supports Pennsylvania's PASS school voucher program, criticized for diverting funds from public education.
Jay-Z supports a Pennsylvania school voucher program, called Pennsylvania Award for Student Success (PASS), that has faced controversy as critics argue it may harm public education by diverting funds to private schools. The program, backed by Republicans, aims to help low-income students escape failing schools but has been criticized by Democrats and teachers' unions who believe the state should invest in public education instead. Roc Nation, Jay-Z's entertainment company, plans to distribute a $300 million scholarship fund to students in Philadelphia through the PASS program.
