What a bunch of malarky! How do targeted vouchers, which go to underprivileged children who are trapped in lousy (mostly inner city) schools benefit the rich and wealthy? If wealthy parents are sending their kids to lousy schools. They simply pull them out and select another school. They have "choice" because they're wealthy. e.g. Albert Arnold Gore Jr. (Son of the Senator) However, if parents cannot afford to send their kids to a private school. And the school they're attending is ripping them off of a decent education. Then vouchers might help them. It might provide just enough money for poor parents to struggle by and send their kids to a private school nearby, or pay for a tutor. This is Bush's plan. It's not the same as the initiative up for a vote in California. And it's not the same as the initiative up for a vote in Michigan. Bush's targeted voucher concept is so far from a give-away to the rich it's pathetic! Reading is a civil right And we should empower our poorest of poor parents with vouchers when government schools are failing to provide a decent education to their children.
