Memo to Ralph Neas: People for the American Way doesn't decide whom the Democratic Mayor of Washington meets with. The Mayor does. And he resents being told otherwise.
We have that from a spokesman for D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams, who calls just plain "silly" a letter from the liberal lobby warning his Hizzoner about his scheduled appearance yesterday before a conference of the American Legislative Exchange Council, a group of free-market state legislators in Washington for their annual meeting.

Sounds like the Mayor is being chastized for daring to think outside the box in order to try to come up with a realistic answer to the woes of his city. One would wish that all local officials across the nation have that kind of open-minded forsight.
Ah, but I forgot - that would mean that they'd have to have the courage to leave the plantation and join us in the free world...

In a Democratic Party in hock to the teachers' unions, Mayor Williams's suggestion that it's time to give vouchers a chance takes real courage. People for the American Way will have the moral standing to criticize him only when the sons and daughters of its rich Hollywood and Wall Street donors attend the same schools that the Mayor's constituents are trying to escape.Mayor Williams has my vote.
