While the American education system is one of the best in the world, the status quo is no longer acceptable.

I still have my preference for the public school system with all its defects, but it does--it is universally available.

We should not take money away from that school system to send to another school system which can be very selective in its clientele.

Vouchers divert funding away from public schools and have failed to demonstrate an increase in parent engagement or student achievement.
