Even the Washington Post Sees Obama Rebuff of DC School Vouchers as "Wrong-Headed"

Beach Reading for Mr. Obama: Useful Literature on Schoomight cause the president to rethink his administration's wrong-headed decision to shut down the voucher program to new students. l Vouchers - washingtonpost.com: "'The D.C. voucher program has proven to be the most effective education policy evaluated by the federal government's official education research arm so far.' Equally adamant was his opinion that vouchers paid off for the students lucky enough to win them: 'On average, participating low-income students are performing better in reading because the federal government decided to launch an experimental school choice program in our nation's capital.'

Mr. Obama, along with Education Secretary Arne Duncan, has repeatedly promised to support 'what works,' so we figure he should be interested in Mr. Wolf's findings."...

[Reading Mr Wolf's and another report] might cause the president to rethink his administration's wrong-headed decision to shut down the voucher program to new students."

But WashPost, you are operating under a false premise. You think President Obama cares about DC public schools, the ones he won't send his own children to. But his policy has nothing to do with educating DC's struggling school children, and everything to do with paying off the unions and maintaining government control over primary education.
