SCHOOL FOR THOUGHT

Repeat After Me: School choice advocates are saints

So the school choice conference wraps up today. I unfortunately don’t have any more scoops for you, so I thought I would just say a few words about how nice the people are at this conference. These are people who do what they do because they care about kids and want to help them. You might think that people who promote school choice are mistaken and that their policies will in fact hurt kids, whatever, but there is just no way that they are selfish, ruthless privatizers out to enrich themselves on the backs of children. Au contraire - many (most?) of them have chosen career paths that ensure they earn a modest living but which allow them to try to help kids - especially poor kids.
