I'm giving two points to Obama. Vouchers are diverting government money from where it should
really go - the painfully under-funded public schools. NCLB, like much of the Bush administration's work, is a good-intentioned but imperfect act, and some revision would help the students a little more.
And since I'm just so damn moderate, I'm also giving a point to McCain. The key word in "Voluntary School Prayer" is the first one. America was founded by those who sought religious freedom, and this nation's citizens should be able to pray.
Vouchers = choice. If I had the choice, I wouldn't be going to Wakefield High.
