No, let's not allow unreasonable fears of creating another tax funded monster stand in the way of the GOP picking up some liberal voters.

The liberal voters of the teachers unions? Or Black parents in central Cleveland? We willhave school choice -- and that means vouchers. The public school system must adapt and change -- or become warehouses for the dysfunctional (teachers and students). Those public schools that survive and thrive will meet the competition by emulating it -- educating youngsters.

The liberal voters of every color and background who have awakened to the fact that the schools suck, but still want nanny government to fix it for them.

We willhave school choice -- and that means vouchers.

Why does that mean vouchers? We can have school choice right now without vouchers by closing down the DoEd and returning control of the schools to the county school boards. Without federal help, the NEA is busted and has no control. The choice issue belongs to the counties first. We have a much better chance of changing things at the county level concerning school taxes than we do at the state or federal level.

The public school system must adapt and change -- or become warehouses for the dysfunctional (teachers and students).

You seem to be in need of a remedial course in current events. Public schools in many areas of the country have been warehouses for children and asylums for incompetent bureaucrats for decades. Functional children become dysfunctional in those warehouses.

Those public schools that survive and thrive will meet the competition by emulating it -- educating youngsters.

Yes, that's the goal, but that goal can be met more quickly by throwing off government and union influence rather than by feeding it an adjusted diet.
