Voucher Program Puts D.C. Kids at Risk

Seems like a problem in organization more than anything..

Private schools = ALWAYS bad. PERIOD, NO EXCEPTIONS.

Apparently this isn't the case in other parts of the country, but in Mississippi, all the private schools were founded in the late 60's as a way to give white children a way to avoid integration.  They're all almost entirely white and racist.

Which only says something about Mississippi's private schools, not those in the rest of the world's private schools.

I'm glad you support a system which allows Children to access only one form of Education - "Public Schools". I'm not the greatest fan of vouchers, but it allows some pupils to access higher levels of education that their economic level would not have previously allowed. (Even if that standard of Education is still industrial and sub-standard, but anyway..)

What's wrong with public schools? The one I went to was rated just as good as the Catholic school (We didn't have any secular private schools) and a far higher graduation rate than the national average. The public schools were fine, no point in private schools.

Take note of the bolded words, BRTD. Too often you take your own personal experience and apply it universally. Sure, yours may be above the average, but in case you've forgotten there's those that are below the average as well.
