Why, when 90% of those in the program are black, is this not trumpeted as racist? Why, when the costs are double per student in DC public schools, is this not exposed as wasteful? Why, with Democrats in charge of the world, do I even bother?

[keep your powder dry]

i think it’s called a ‘double standard’

[Heartland Mom]

If the RNC had any vision or cohesion, they would be putting spots out on this - exposing the evil Dims for what they are. Instead, they just roll over and play dead. If they’re not going to fight for their convictions, what good is it to have any?

Gotta love it, when the RATS dictatorial education dogma skewers their own. But the public school teacher's jobs are safe whether or not they bother to teach. Better to have an unthinking, uneducated populace.

Just channeling the logical think of the RATS. Nobody with an intact brain would ever vote for a RAT.

Why do minorities tow the Democrats line when it destroys their lives?

There are two poor kids that attend the same school as B-HO’s kids on those vouchers. They will now get kicked out for lack of funding!

Dear DC Democrats:

Next time you vote, remember who tried to keep your kids away from THEIR kids.....

Zero doesn't want his girls punished by having to go to Sidwell Friends with "Those People."

I'll be fair... I'm sure all of the other elitist parents of DC's private schools are joyous that the gates to their little world are once again shut and locked.

Heaven forbid that their little princes and princesses had to be around children that have to deal with the harsh world outside.

These vouchers allow two girls to attend school with the Obama daughters in their private school. Must be huge vouchers...

I am guessing they will get waivers.

[ChrisInAR]

I’m glad to see this happen ‘cuz I am strongly opposed to the federal government being involved in education. Stop the vouchers, close the Dept. of Education, & give education back to the states, families, & churches. This is only a tiny step in what should be a long journey.

I know that the Dims would like for the government to take over education completely, & that is the reason why they oppose vouchers for private schools.

D’Rats are nothing more than slaves to the unions and the abortion industry. They would rather pass damaging and deadly societal legislation than put their job on the line by angering their constituencies.

[Tallguy]

Didn’t Obama make a general statement on education in which he seemed to support the concept of vouchers? Guess he decided to allow Congress to lead on this too?
