Check out this line from the one and only George Will:
"In today's political taxonomy, "progressives" are rebranded liberals dodging the damage they did to their old label." (Liberal or Progressive, Same Old Nonsense)
What a statement! Is there a Cooperstown for pundits? If not, start one and make George Will the first pundit to be enshrined.
Of course, Will is actually talking about our public schools and recent events in Utah:
"Passed last February, the Parent Choice in Education Act would make a voucher available to any public school child who transfers to a private school, and to current private school children from low-income families. Opponents of school choice reflexively rushed to force a referendum on the new law, which is suspended pending the vote.
The vouchers would vary in value from $500 to $3,000, depending on household income. The teachers unions' usual argument against school choice programs is that they drain money from public education. But the vouchers are funded by general revenues, not the two sources of public school funds, which are local property taxes and the Uniform School Fund."
Give parents the money and let them choose a school. How about some competition? What a concept! Give parents the money and let the schools compete for their kids' education! What a radical concept called competition!
Who is opposed to that? Guess who? The Democrats! Why the Dems? Because the teachers' unions put millions in the Dems' pockets:
"What will defenders of that idea -- former liberals, now known as progressives -- call themselves next? Surely not "pro-choice."
Give the parents the money!
