Just heard a report over local news about a large percentage of students being paid to go to private schools in Tennessee instead of pubic schools.

I fail to see the point of the report. The object is not to permit more to go to private schools, but rather to permit school choice. Eventually, everyone should be given school choice. Given all the competition, public schools will either improve or disappear. Is that so bad?

What the dems and major media don’t like is multi-faceted. Mostly they don’t like losing control over what is being taught and how it’s being taught. Also, they don’t want to be exposed for their inept efforts. Finally, we are talking about a lot of money. Education is generally a large percentage of any local government. No many folks willing to give up control of that much spending.
