“Foundry readers should check out the Wall Street Journal’s editorial on President Bush’s proposal for a national Pell Grants for Kids school voucher program. The Journal asks a question that Heritage posted last year: ‘If unrestricted federal education grants are kosher for college students, why not for grades K-12 too?’ Pell Grants allow students to purchase an education at a school of choice — whether public or private, secular or religious. But while liberals are quick to support school vouchers for higher education, they are much less enthusiastic about giving students younger than 18 the same power to choose their school.” (01/30/08)
