Vouchers. (For all students, in all states.)

From the article:

The "voucher" program exists to give the federal government control over private schools because, whoever pays the piper, chooses the tune. Schools that accept voucher students will soon find themselves required to accept federal education regulations as well.

"Vouchers. (For all students, in all states.)"

Uhhhh. No. Vouchers are a crummy idea for a few of reasons. First, the reality is that he who pays the piper calls the tune. Second, vouchers are a nonstarter politically and thus a waste of time and effort.

You can usually tell faux conservative politicians by how quickly they jump on the voucher bandwagon. Supporting vouchers gives the appearance of supporting educational reform, but since they're unlikely to ever be instituted, faux conservatives need not worry about actually them actually changing anything.
