School vouchers for poor students in D.C. to attend private school have proven so popular that there is now a push for the program's expansion. Unsurprisingly there is opposition:
Senate Republicans are considering changes to the D.C. school voucher program that could include increasing the $7,500 annual limit on the scholarships and allowing students to use them at private schools outside the city, according to District, congressional and program officials.
Two key Democratic senators said they would oppose such measures, arguing that Congress should wait until the five-year pilot program has run its course before considering changes.
I'll remember that the next time someone tells me about how Democrats represent the interests of the poor.
