Democrats Block GOP Bid to Extend DC Vouchers

The president and the Dems in Congress only believe in school choice for THEIR children.

Just like other dictators, barry does not believe that the lower class should be provided the same opportunities that his children have.

DC Vouchers
Submitted by Davids mom on Wed, 03/11/2009 - 10:09pm.

Senate Democrats have dealt a setback to a Republican-sponsored school voucher program that gives schoolchildren in the nation's capital the chance to attend private schools.

The funds allotted for parents to use for vouchers would only help middle-class students who are in the public school system in the District. Why pull funds from public education for those who can probably afford to pay the full tuition? It has been my experience that not many working families can afford the tuition of the private schools in the District. I feel that funds should be used to upgrade public education and give parents a choice of the magnet schools and schools of choice within the public system. I don't know of any administrator who would want to have the responsibility of the necessary security requirements for a president's child in an inner city school. Have you heard of the ABC program? (A Better Chance) Funds from this program are given to students from lower-income areas to attend private prep schools throughout the nation. This is privately funded - and most successful.

U.S. to limit its aid for Gaza

Robert A. Wood, the department's chief spokesman, said that about $300 million of the money would be spent on humanitarian relief for Gaza, and the remainder would help offset the Palestinian Authority's budget shortfall and fund its economic development, security and other projects in the West Bank. The authority is run by the more moderate Palestinian faction Fatah.

Barry the Incompetent sends $300MM of our tax dollars to Hamas, a terrorist organization, yet will not provide funding for school vouchers for poor children in Washington D.C.

This administration is the worst in history.

David's Mom -

You're statement "The funds allotted for parents to use for vouchers would only help middle-class students who are in the public school system in the District" is a bald faced lie. You, madam, are a liar.

Approximately 1,700 mostly low-income and minority students kids receive the $7,500 vouchers, which offer an alternative to the troubled D.C. school system.

Barack Obama is an elitist, hypocritical, lying pig and should be called out on the floor for his role in denying the same education to poor children as his own children receive.

We all know that the MSM and people like you are nothing but a bunch Obama sycophants and don't have the guts to admit that barry is a pathetic, lying, loser.
