Although it’s uncertain what the future holds since this was only the House, yesterday on partisan lines, passed the SOAR act authorized $100 million over 5 years for tuition payments for schoolchildren in DC to go to private schools. The Senate is Democratic, so we’ll see, and Obama says he’s against it but probably won’t veto whatever compromise is worked out. If we can waste money on failing public schools in DC, why can’t we send some or all of that money to functioning private schools in DC instead, especially when the parents of the children so desperately want the access?
