In a rush tonight, but thought I would pass along links to several posts by Jane Galt. She’s been writing that she supports school vouchers for equity reasons. She’s been wavering lately on the whole libertarian business, so maybe we can lure over the dark, commie side. Psst…. Jane, commies like Harry B from Crooked Timber and I have made similar arguments before.
LizardBreath gets into the debate over at Jane’s and points out that urban schools are fine. She’s quite fond her public school in Washington Heights. Loud gaffaws from my little office here. I’m from that hood. Old PS 187 was one of the big reasons we left. While that school is fine for a particular type of kid, it is not great for most kids. 95% of our bleeding heart liberal friends fled from that neighborhood when their kids turned five. Jonah couldn’t have hacked it. What would have happened to Ian, our special needs kiddo, in that system?
