Advocating Wisconsin School Choice: A Letter to Senator Mike Ellis

David Blaska:

The Madison School Board recently voted 7-0 to encourage the state Legislature to say no to school choice. The surprise would have been had they voted otherwise.

I suspect Madison's school board is like yours in Neenah and others throughout the state. Given their druthers, they'd just as soon have no competition. Makes management ever so much simpler.

Of course, those who can afford to do so can send their children to private schools - but first they must pay the monopoly school district, or move out of town. What a business model! Kim Jong-un would approve!

Our school board has the firm backing of the teachers union - the same one that unilaterally closed down Madison schools for a week during the Siege of the Capitol in February-March 2011. It should! The union elected them!
