      Yes Rush...

      We all know how you feel about a good primary and then subsequent college education... especially since we all know your a college drop out.

      Guess you figure that since you could not hack it... why let other people have a shot at it as well?

      So your anger toward an actual education that you know perfectly well is being taken away with vouchers... and the removal of which will allow for more children to actually make it out of HS... Nice.

        Captain what the hell are you talking about? The point is for the trillions that the dems are spending they decided to axe 14mill from a voucher program to help kids go to better schools, that's it...... While at the same time Obamas children go to the most prestigious school in the Dc area.The question is why would they axe the 14mill, and actually not increase the funding to help these kids, is it because of an agenda to support public education vs private, or is it just an overall disdain for non-union schools.
        The irony of course is that most of these politicians (both parties) send their kids to private schools, knowing that the education is better for their families but not helping those that don't have the same financial options.

      President Obama is abandoning the kids of Washington, DC. Those currently in the program will remain, but brothers, neighbors and those who were already accepted for the September term will not.

      This behavior is the most blatent quid pro quo for unions
      (NEA) on President Obama's record. He cannot explain the removal of funding even though the voucher program works. Actually, Nancy removed the funding, but President Obama could have made it come back to life. He didn't.

      DC schools are almost the worst in the entire country. The vouchers gave some kids an alternative to a poor and dangerous education.

      President Obama has condemned the children (mostly black) to a poor education and a life that will be far more difficult.

      Dear President Obama,

      Please reverse this decision. Restore and grow the Washington DC Opportunity Scholarships. You didn't author the removal of funding, but now you must cause the decision to be reversed. You will win more votes by reversing the decision than anything the NEA can provide.

      Please do it now.
