Rationale
The bill imposes income restrictions on educational scholarships, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of free market education and parental rights in determining their children's education without government interference.
Risks and Concerns
- Increases government control over educational funding
- Restricts parental choice in education
- Potentially limits access to educational opportunities for families just above the income threshold
