I've been writing for years that the voucher advocates had moved on from school vouchers, after they realized that they weren't politically viable, and moved onto promote online education.

Online education is great for home schoolers and rural schools, and the former voucher advocates are glad to help out these groups. Also, these former voucher advocates like the idea of setting up schools with computers at every seat, because it would mean fewer teachers, a weaker teachers' union, and lower costs. (All that talk about choice and freedom is nonsense. Most voucher advocates really want lower costs and weaker unions.)

The New York Times finally noticed.
