Kids Who Pick the Wrong Parents and Other Victims of Voucher Schemes

When then President-elect Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary announced in January 1993 that their daughter Chelsea would attend Sidwell Friends School, a selective and expensive private school, their decision was immediately criticized. The New York Times, an opponent of vouchers, opined that Mr. Clinton had "a larger obligation [than that of parent] that he took on by campaigning as an advocate of public education. He has not served the spirit of that obligation by choosing a private school." Proponents of vouchers, on the other hand, attacked the Clintons as hypocrites. Typical was the reaction of Clint Bolick of the Institute for Justice, which provides legal representation to voucher advocates: "Bill Clinton, the self-described advocate of public schools, finds that not a single public school in D.C. is adequate for his daughter," Mr. Bolick said, "and we'd like to see other parents, particularly low-income parents, have the same choice as Bill Clinton."
