If we had a voucher system (which Governor Clinton opposes) vitually any schools would be accessible to the masses. What should Governor Clinton care about providing such education to the masses? He's got the money to send his kids to any school he chooses. I don't have a problem with that. I do have a problem with him limiting my choices. He's limiting my choices for my children's education to institutions which do not have to compete for customers (students). What kind of cars do you think we would be driving if we had one car manufacturer to purchase from who did not have to compete with anyone? That's where our public education system is today. I'm not attacking the public education system entirely, but why is it that private schools do such a better job (I'm assuming they do since people must spend additional dollars to use them). Additionally, the message that Governor Clinton is sending out is that the public schools are not good enough for his daughter but for those who can't afford it, they'll just have to make due.
