HILLARY: UNHINGED ON VOUCHERS
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D - NY) speaks out in strong opposition to school vouchers.As Michelle Malkin states,
Hillary screeches that providing inner-city and poor students with more choice in education will lead to a "school of the Church of the White Supremacist " and a "School of the Jihad."In her speech, Sen. Hillary Clinton went back to the 40 year old Democrat racial division playbook, and played the "White Supremacist/ Islamic Jihad Race Trump Card." But, it should be called the, "I don't want your kids to escape the failing and violent public schools by going to good schools like the one that my daughter attend card."
In her speech, Sen. Clinton fail to mention that public schools provide the best quality of education, that the average public school cost less per student than the average private school, or that public schools were the best place for her daughter. Why? Because not even Slick Willy the Great could lie that good.
While the majority of our children are condemned to receive an education in schools where no-child's-behind-is-left-alone; prior to attending Stanford and University College at Oxford, Chelsea Clinton attended Sidwell Friends High School. Where the schools website states,
Our curriculum is broad, and class sizes are small, allowing students to achieve their potential, and find the areas that will continue to spark their interest in years to come.Unfortunately, it is beyond the financial means of most Americans.
Sidwell Friends SchoolAt Chelsea's graduation, the commencement speaker President Bill Clinton said,

Class of 1997, you are beautiful. Go out and live like it. Be humble and be proud. Be of service. Be optimistic and grateful. Be brave and dream your dreams.Although they are also proud and optimistic, it is just too bad that the dreams of less privileged parents and students are not a concern within the Clintons household. Why?
