The Choice Channel

“The South Carolina Legislature killed real education reform again this year. Instead of education tax credits and scholarships, which Rep. Tracy Edge and Sen. Larry Grooms put forward this year, state lawmakers recently passed a ‘choice’ law that allows students to enroll in different school districts without paying tuition. But the law doesn’t create any seats in good schools and doesn’t let parents choose between government and independent education. It still lets bureaucrats deny parents a choice, and thereby changes nothing. Thankfully, Gov. Mark Sanford has vetoed this obvious attempt to put off true education reform.” (06/28/07)
