I know, it's a provocative title. I also believe it's absolutely true. Once again the Democrats (and Obama in particular) genuflect to the teachers' unions at the expense of education and poor children. Ironically, but certainly not surprisingly, Obama won't sentence his own children to these D.C. government schools. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)
Will Barack Obama Let Democrats Dismantle the Opportunity Scholarship Program? - WSJ.com: "Democrats want to kill vouchers for 1,700 poor kids. President Obama made education a big part of his speech Tuesday night, complete with a stirring call for reform. So we'll be curious to see how he handles the dismaying attempt by Democrats in Congress to crush education choice for 1,700 poor kids in the District of Columbia. The omnibus spending bill now moving through the House includes language designed to kill the Opportunity Scholarship Program offering vouchers for poor students to opt out of rotten public schools. The legislation says no federal funds can be used on the program beyond 2010 unless Congress and the D.C. City Council reauthorize it. Given that Democrats control both bodies -- and that their union backers hate school choice -- this amounts to a death sentence."

Totalitarian scumballs will spare no effort nor expense to adavance the communist agenda whilst destroying all that is good about the late United States of America. It is informative that their progeny do not attend these hallowed halls of learning.
