Welcome to The Senate Site

John Stossel in Real Clear Politics: Utahns Can Vote for School Choice Tuesday (comments).

"For over 40 years, the government's system has been dominated by a protectionist teachers' union that puts itself ahead of the children entrusted to its members. The results are what we should expect from a monopoly financed with money extracted from taxpayers: poor quality, lack of innovation and bored children."

and

". . . The answer to mediocre public schooling isn't to give a government monopoly more "teacher development programs." The answer is competition. Bureaucrats and unions tremble at the thought."

And Richard D. Kahlenberg in Politico: Balkanizing Utah's schools (comments).

"The contest has drawn the involvement of groups across the nation, from pro-voucher conservatives to anti-voucher teachers unions.

The vote has national implications not only for education but also for presidential politics.

Ironically, a win for the conservative proposal could put pro-voucher Republican presidential candidates, such as Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, in a tough political position, exposing strains in their political philosophy."
