Wow! I was in favor of vouchers, but have always had reservations due to this type of thing. The author of this article really lays it out right. But, what can we do about it. We can't keep our students toiling in public education. Hell, I am homeschooling mine when they get school age.
"This is all about the educrats' desperate campaign to kill the school choice movement in its crib. At the basest level, it's old-fashioned labor-union hardball, protecting their narrow self-interest from competition. As a political and ideological issue, it's about the power to indoctrinate impressionable young minds. Liberal educrats currently control public education. It's their agenda that prevails. They see the public schools as a great laboratory for social engineering. They are determined to mold the next generation in their "progressive" image."
"If the status quo were conservative control of public education, liberals would be screaming for educational choice."
