Regretting President Obama's lack of support for choice and opportunity in DC

ADVERTISEMENTS

The White House -- despite the occasional encouraging sign of openness to education reform -- continues to oppose even D.C.'s small experiment in school-choice for low-income kids in D.C. Sad.

UPDATE: The Washington Post gets it right.

We understand the argument against using public funds for private, and especially parochial, schools. But it is parents, not government, choosing where to spend the vouchers. Given that this program takes no money away from public or public charter schools; that the administration does not object to parents directing Pell grants to Notre Dame or Georgetown; and that members of the administration would never accept having to send their own children to failing schools, we don?t think the argument is very persuasive. Maybe that?s why an administration that promised never to let ideology trump evidence is making an exception in this case.
