don't want to do what's right because of their own fears

I am afraid of vouchers, I'm afraid that it will lead to a large scale shifting of students year after year looking for the school that got the best score last year, overcrowding that school and causing layoffs at the original. School's could become as volitile in their performance as stocks on a day-trader's list. It has every possibility of wrecking whole school systems based on rumor and distortion, and I want to make this clear, there are groups who will try all they can to destroy public schools just to line their pockets. I lived through the con-jobs of the 70's where whole neighborhoods were disrupted by rumors of busing and it's possible effects because some developer was having trouble selling his new suburb 5 miles out of town. The genie this lets out of the bottle does not grant wishes.
