School Choice Better Choice for Poor

Amy Hall:

Barack Obama, whose campaign is heavily funded by teachers unions, plans to funnel more money into the existing public education system. In this system, poor kids remain the only ones who don't get to choose which school they attend. Mr. McCain is a strong supporter of school choice and has a record of this in Arizona.

As a teacher of 30 years, I am outraged that the liberal leaders in this country pretend to champion the poor, while, through their opposition to school choice, they act to keep the poor uneducated and poor.
