I Thought Democrats Were 'Pro-Choice'?

Sure, maybe just when involves abortion. As far as parents having a choice to save their kids from failed government schools?

Fuck you, they say.

The Senate effectively dealt a death blow to a federally funded District of Columbia voucher program that helps send poor and mostly minority DC kids to private schools.

By a 58-39 vote largely along party lines, the Democrat-controlled Senate rejected a Republican measure that would remove the requirement that Congress and the Washington City Council reauthorize the program in order to continue funding.

Supporters of the 6-year-old initiative say the requirement will kill the program, since the DC City Council is known to oppose it.

Some Democrats and teacher unions have battled such voucher programs, saying they divert money from the public-school system.

That's complete bullshit, and they know it. The SDC schools are drowning in money, with no measurable results to show for it. The Democrats are simply owned by the teacher's unions and this is a payoff.

Democrats pay lip service to caring about the children, but honestly, they just want them dumbed down and subservient to big government. Let's face it, they don't give a fat rat's ass about the children.

Speaking of public school teachers, you'll be happy to know they're now teaming up with the thugs from ACORN.
