Libertarian Reason.TV [1] gives the President an “F,” and I have to agree. Narrated by Nick Gillespie [2], the video flunks Obama in three areas:
- More money for no improvement
- Policies that limit choice, when school choice has been proven effective
- Unions before education
Watch the video for an explanation:
With regard to the second reason, I’ve written before about the rebirth of the New Orleans school system after Hurricane Katrina and how a voucher system enabling school choice [3] has lead to greatly improved test scores [4] there.
But don’t bother a progressive reactionary, such as the President, with empirical evidence.
