Whoopi Goldberg Halts Heated Debate on 'The View' Over School Vouchers

The clash between co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin over school voucher programs led to an on-air intervention by Goldberg.

The debate centered on President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education and her support for school voucher programs.
Sunny Hostin argued that vouchers disproportionately benefit wealthy families and divert funds from underfunded public schools.
Alyssa Farah Griffin countered by highlighting her experience with the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program, claiming it increased graduation rates for low-income students.
The discussion escalated as the co-hosts interrupted each other, prompting Whoopi Goldberg to cut to a commercial break to restore order.
After the break, Goldberg emphasized the value of differing opinions while addressing the chaotic exchange, noting the tension following the recent election results.
