Platonic devotion to the free market
By Kevin Drum, after pointing out that "57% of Ohio's charter schools recently received a grade of D or F on the state's school report card":[A]n awful lot of voucher proponents are motivated either by some Platonic devotion to the free market as a panacea for everything or by a desire to make sure their kids attend only schools with the right racial or religious makeup. Ditto for things like hating on teachers unions or the endless textbook wars, which are mostly articles of faith untouched by questions of whether they actually make a difference in educational outcomes. It's great fodder for the culture war hucksters, but not so good for actual children.
