Liberty is for me…

The mayor of New York, Mike Bloomberg, attended former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s education summit.

While Bloomberg supports charter schools and more public choice he opposes vouchers.

Why?

I’ve never been a big believer in vouchers,” Bloomberg added. He said that’s because “what invariably will happen with vouchers is those who are sending their kids to private schools already will take up most of the vouchers.

Bloomberg’s statement is simply false and wrong!

School voucher programs are designed for low-income families, families with disabled kids or kids attending failing public schools.

School voucher laws have nothing to do with kids already enrolled in private schools. Actually, kids who are enrolled in private schools couldn’t even be eligible for vouchers because students have to be enrolled in public schools.

Finally, I hate how the AP never does any homework on their stories and place quotes that mislead readers.
