That sounds right to me. How about something like this. "Donald Trump has dismantled the Department of Education arguing that the states are better at determining what should be done with education dollars than the federal government. Fine. So now, instead of tax money going to Washington and then being doled out to the states SPECIFICALLY for education, it'll just be left to the legislature in Jackson and Little Rock and Montgomery to allocate it. Who thinks that's going to work out to the benefit of the average Mississippian or Arkansan or Alabamian?"
Since none of those states give more than they get, they're going to be on the losing end of that deal. And, unless you can afford the private school tuition, your local school is going to suffer. And even if you CAN afford the tuition, the only private schools that will get any money at all are the ones who grease the skids with whomever makes that decision.
That's the kind of thing that might resonate with voters. Everyone cares about their kids.
