Quote of the day: Parental (school) choice needed

"It is mothers and fathers - not any politicians - who have the greatest interest in the welfare of their children and who know their children best. As long as funding for schools is independent of parents' choices of which schools to send their children, and as long as government owns and operates schools, government schools will respond less to the needs of children and more to the interests of the government-salaried bureaucrats who run each school as the monopoly that it is." -Donald J. Boudreaux, George Mason University economics professor
