Ford: Democrat School Choice Hypocrisy

"State Senator Robert Ford from Charleston County, South Carolina, is blasting his Democratic Party and saying it is not fair that elected politicians can exercise school choice while their constituents have to remain in the failing public schools.

"Senator Ford said: 'Whatever the amount of money that we spend on a child per year, that money is for the child — it's not for the school. So if you got a failing school, it simply means that that parent is wasting taxpayer money.' Senator Ford also says that parents should be able to use school choice vouchers to send their children to religious schools."
