Liberals vs. Children’s Education
2009 April 17
I think that we really should start educating the masses as to the effectiveness of charter schools and voucher programs. The WSJ has a really good article about the success in various cities and the union’s attempts to eradicate all competition in schools. The individual mentioned in the article, Caroline Hoxby, did a study for the Hoover Institute on charter schools in New York. You can see the video here. I really wish some of our local politicians would start a movement to bring a charter school/voucher program to Alabama.

If any Democrat running for governor had any intelligence what-so-ever, they would seize the issue of school choice in order to burnish their “moderate” credentials.
Of course, another good reason would be because it would benefit those that Democrats and liberals claim to fight for (the poor).
That being said, Republicans are obviously scared of Paul Hubbert as well because none of them have taken up the issue. School choice is an EXCELLENT issue for minority-outreach for the Republican party.
