If those in charge of the quality of their schools programs, curriculum and parental expectations, don’t want vouchers, why would small government Republicans ignore their wishes?
Ideology! Our father figure conservative disciplinarians know what’s best, and apparently know the communities better than their own superintendents. Pay close attention to Robin Vos’ response to Racines Sup.:
Dictatorial Weasel Rep. Robin Vos
AP: School leaders in Racine are urging Republicans who control the Legislature to remove a provision from the state budget allowing voucher schools in that city. The budget would also expand vouchers to schools in Milwaukee County and in Green Bay. Racine Unified School District Superintendent Jim Shaw said Tuesday that vouchers in his city will result in the defunding of public education, raise property taxes and make it harder to balance the school budget without cutting positions.
Voucher supporter Rep. Robin Vos of Rochester says Racine's voucher program has wide support in the community and will remain in the budget. He says vouchers for Green Bay will also remain, but may undergo some changes.
