I’ve been saying that for years, too. School choice is the silver bullet

The ‘silver bullet’ is multi-stepped:
- Term. the DoEd (40yrs+ on the (R)N(C) TODO list)
- Elim. the illegal welfare state
- Elim. property taxes
- Return to ‘user pays upon service(s) received’
NOBODY cares about quality & cost like the one writing the check
The check-writers have no control whatever over public schools at present. Giving the parents say over where their kids go to school is the first step towards some sort of accountability for the educational bureaucracy. If they want the money to stay with their school, keep the parents satisfied that their kids are getting something out of the school, or they’ll go elsewhere and take the money with them.
Hugely popular idea with minorities, and the leftard establishment is dead-set against it. Based on the presidential debates, they want to bring back busing or some damned idiocy or other, or make sure all the kids are scared to death of global warming, to the extent that they give any thought to education at all. Oh, and keep affirmative action around for the few minority kids who might be college bound, and want to devote the rest of their working lives to paying back student loans.
If a two-house majority and state legislative majorities can bring about school choice, the Dems will not be able to scream “racism” loud enough to dissuade minorities from voting Republican. Trump can make it happen.
