At least he was smart enough to figure out the best way to get people to read his thoughts is to post them here. School choice is fundamentally about free-markets and individual choice. Last time I checked those were essentials to carry the authentic conservative banner. Nice to see that John Vierdsen realized his wolf cub blog has zero readership.

People who don't have to send their kids to private school to get a good education. One of the major reasons the real parental choice movement has hit so many road-blocks in this state is that supporters don't do a good job of telling these types of parents that it does not "take money out of the public schools" or "result in less money for the public schools" in the way that the public education establishment rather effectively suggests. This would be a great test-case for a real Sanford Republican, vouchers and all, to run. Tell these Republican parents that vouchers and tax credits do not result in less money for their public schools. Challenge opponents like Costner on that. Explain to those public school teachers that their schools will not suffer by a little dose of parental empowerment. Appeal to the parents' love of capitalism and competition in their professional work lives and explain how these concepts could be used as drivers to force the public schools to improve in the worst parts of the state. I'm not a true believer enough to think this would result in an easy win, but I'd love to see someone try to run unafraid on this issue for once and explain it in more persuasive ways.

You have to tell Larry Marchant that if he is going to keep paying you, he has to send better info. Nobody will every win supporting school choice in that district.
