Re: DC Opportunity Scholarships

Hope-and-change beat NR to the punch this time, although the analysis here is much better than mine.

Money quote:

If you have any doubt as to whether this program should exist, ask yourself a simple question: Would you enroll your children in violence-ridden D.C. public schools with decades-long records of academic failure? Bill and Hillary Clinton didn’t. Barack and Michelle Obama didn’t. Members of Congress don’t.

What about you? Would you enroll your children in those schools?

The DC Opportunity Scholarships issue provides a perfect test of the President's "I'm a pragmatist, not an ideologue" line that so many of his supporters believe. Those supporters should take a close look at this issue and ask themselves if the President and his administration are behaving pragmatically or ideologically.
