Democrats are once again proving that "choice" as it relates to children applies only to killing them, not to parents choosing where to educate them. Sorry, but for pro-choice politicians to argue against school choice shows that they care only about the teachers unions that elect them, and not for the lives of the people they represent.
The Washington Post called congressional democrats on their hypocrisy in an editorial today:
REP. DAVID R. Obey (Wis.) and other congressional Democrats should spare us their phony concern about the children participating in the District's school voucher program. If they cared for the future of these students, they wouldn't be so quick as to try to kill the program that affords low-income, minority children a chance at a better education. Their refusal to even give the program a fair hearing makes it critical that D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D) seek help from voucher supporters in the Senate and, if need be, President Obama.
Good assessment, until the part about going to President Obama about it...

No surprise there - the Dems will side with the union thugs every single time.
If there ever was a cushy profession, it is that of a public screwel teacher. Yeah that’s right. Come and get me.
Anybody expect any different?
