If I am elected president, school choice for all who want it, an expansion of Opportunity Scholarships, and alternative certification for teachers will all be part of a serious agenda of education reform. [italics mine]
In practice, I suspect it will not make much difference. Vouchers are too big a danger not only to the teachers unions (of which the Democratic Party is a wholly owned subsidiary), but to a bipartisan coalition of well off people. Whatever would happen to their property values if their schools ceased to be the exclusive property of their wealthy suburbs and became open to just anyone?
