The closer we get to November the more likely we are to see commentary related to vouchers. Wouldn’t it be nice if all of it was as well thought out as Conner Boyack’s Weighing in on the Utah Voucher Program – but I won’t hold my breath. Connor seems to be trying in a single post to sum up the entire voucher debate – which is an impressive task. Perhaps one reason that I like Connor’s thoughts is that his conclusion is quite similar to mine – the voucher bills might be flawed (as most bills are) but I believe they will prove to be a positive move for education in Utah.
Though I support vouchers I can’t say that I support all the political maneuvering of voucher supporters (not that I favor political maneuvering of voucher opponents). I find it disturbing to hear reports of potential political retaliation (in reference to this article). Vouchers should stand or fall on their merits – there should be no stooping to coercive tactics to bolster political support.
Thanks for the suggestion David. You have been linked.
Thanks for the link Rob.
Amen Brother
You are right, it’s flawed and by the way, did you know that Utah voters have already voted against vouchers David?
I don’t recall ever having the chance to vote on the voucher issue although I have heard voucher opponents make that statement before. I would appreciate it if you can shed some light on that argument Rob.
