Vouchers would create as many problems as they would solve.
You repeat Bush's standard lines about vouchers. The words sound good but what do they mean?

Under-performing schools? Closing them? Moving kids to better schools? Where? As if there's always a better school right down the street. So you close a town's only school and bus them 50 miles away? Bush's simplistic rhetoric is delusional. The way to fix an under-performing school is to improve it, not abandon it. Help it out don't bankrupt it. And who decides if a school is under-performing?

What? leave all the under-performing kids in bad schools and take out all the others and bus they away?

Bush is really trying to let the government decide what to teach and how to teach. He is against the teachers union because teachers generally are democrats. Bush is also defending white vs blacks and secularists vs religious right. Teachers I know are amazed that they're not even allowed to mention the word sex in class. Evolution either. As if these two things are dirty wrong subjects as opposed to being basic science and the real genesis of our lives.

The real issue here is the GOP kowtowing to the religious right. Otherwise they wouldn't even care about vouchers.
