The Anti-Choice Party
Here's an excerpt from a clumsy, seemingly endless speech Hillary made the other day about school vouchers:
Suppose you were meeting today to decide who got the vouchers. First parent who comes says, "I want to send my daughter to St. Peter's Roman Catholic school," and you say, "Great, wonderful school, here's your voucher." Next parent who comes says, "I want to send, you know, my child to the Jewish day school." "Great, here's your voucher." Next parent who comes says, "I want to send my child to the private school that I've always dreamed of sending my child to." "Fine, here's your voucher." Next parent who comes says, "I want to send my child to the school of the church of the white supremacist." You say, "Wait a minute, you can't send -- we're not giving you a voucher for that." And the parent says, "Well, the way I read Genesis, Cain was marked, therefore I believe in white supremacy, and therefore, you gave it to a Catholic parent, you gave it to a Jewish parent, you gave it to a secular private school parent. Under the Constitution, you can't discriminate against me." So as the next parent comes and says, "I want to send my child to the school of the jihad." "Wait a minute, we're not going to send a child with taxpayer dollars to school of the jihad." "Well, you gave it to the Catholics, you gave it to the Jews, you gave it to the private secular people, you going to tell me I can't? I'm a taxpayer, under the Constitution." Now, tell me how we're going to make those choices?
Well, since you asked, Hillary, it isn't up to you to make those choices. It's none of your business, Hillary, where parents choose to send their kids to school! This woman, her party in particular and politicians in general just can't seem to get it through their heads that they have no business poking their nose into the operation of the family unit.
Denial of school choice is simply discriminatory and racist. No surprise, coming from the slave party. It's segregation all over again. When parents sitting at the kitchen table can routinely home-school their children at the 96th percentile, there is something gravely wrong with our public school system. Denying minority and inner-city kids access to any school their parents choose is child abuse. It will deprive them for the rest of their lives of the ability to be competitive with the children of the upper middle class and the rich.
Odd how the only choice the Democrats seem to favor is the choice to kill babies. The Democratic Party is now and always has been the party of evil.

I don't know anything about Australian public schools. But enough of our schools are sub-standard to make it a national crisis. The government should have no say in where a child attends school. And forcing a child to attend a failing government school is criminal. It is a major cause of poverty, drug abuse and gang violence. Issuing vouchers would also force public schools to become more efficient -- to spend money more sensibly, to fire incompetent teachers and to trim bloated bureaucracies. Monopolies are never a good idea. That's why we have antitrust laws.
