This could be a real boost for the school choice movement. It's been very hard to get suburbanites behind choice because most are satisfied with their local schools. This effort at indoctrination could finally motivate them for choice and reform.

winner3000: Education reform and tort reform in my opinion are the most important domestic issues needed to strengthen America.

LE: In my opinion, the only education reform that will work is educational liberty, which is complete separation of the state from education. Vouchers, however better than the current regime, don't restore this liberty, because they still require the state to coercively extract money from taxpayers, including many who don't have children.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but when it comes to choosing between sodomite indoctrination and free babysitting, most parents will choose free babysitting. I ran for school committee ten years ago and what I learned is that most parents don't want to know.

The teachers pretend to teach, the children pretend to learn and the parents and school committee pretend that the teachers are teaching and that the children are learning. The system works.
