Vouchers are horrible — the goal should be to make good, local, public education available to all Americans. Not to let public schools further deteriorate while giving parents vouchers, where they need to pay EXTRA money for a decent private school.

Also, vouchers play into the hands of religious asshats who don’t want their sproglets learning about evil-lution, globull warming, and birth control methods. Everyone should have a strong grounding in math, science, literature, history, etc without it being marred by their parents’ idea of some fruitcake fairy up in the sky.
