The Federal Government has no business mandating ANYTHING in education, even things I like. It is a state/local issue.
BTW, I just spent 30 seconds and emailed the Union Leader to ask if they are going to be printing the interview or making it available. I'll let you know if they respond.
And you would also be slamming Bush if his education dept. came out in support of vouchers in the future, I surmise.
