Obama Tells Teachers Union He Opposes Vouchers



Elizabeth Green of The New York Sun reports:

Senator Obama is saying decisively that he does not support private school vouchers, while sticking with his support for incentive pay for teachers based on their students’ performance.

Mr. Obama made the remarks yesterday in a telecast speech to the American Federation of Teachers’ national convention in Chicago after the union voted overwhelmingly to endorse his presidential bid.

    So typical of those who went to expensive ivy league colleges..I dont care if the local public fed school is a joke..in no way will I allow some poor kid to go to a better private school..using his own tax money…you see he thinks its just groovy to have to take your kid out of a worthless fed school,pay in taxes for an empty seat to that school and enroll your child or children in a private better school that really cares for that child..and of course you then have to pay double for that education…and this hated from another ‘choice’ person…round and round we go..my how these Libs just give and give..
