This is a wonderful decision on the part of the Obama administration and the Democrats in the Senate, because it shows that their priorities are in the right place. Everyone focuses on the children, who of course don’t want to learn, and don’t really need educations anyway. The important constituency here is the teachers’ unions, which would be devastated by the impact of a voucher program that worked, especially an expanded one. Remember, Obama’s children don’t go to public school; someone else’s children do. The union is much more important to the Democratic party than some nameless poor minority person. It makes perfect sense for the Democratic party to support the constituency who supported them in the last election, and will support them again in the next. Quit whining about the children! We’ll waste more money on the public education system, and blame everything bad that happens on the Bush administration and the voucher program itself! The parents of these kids are going to vote Democrat regardless–we can do with them whatever we wish, and they’ll still vote Democrat. Who cares?
