Muskogee Phoenix likes D.C. voucher plan

"We think President Barack Obama and Congress made a poor decision in ending a voucher program in Washington, D.C.," The Muskogee Phoenix editorializes.

We do not support a comprehensive voucher program as some propose, giving all parents and their students vouchers that allow children to attend any school their families choose. ... But we like the voucher plan Obama wants to end. It gives promising students whose parents are involved in their children's educations the opportunity to go to schools that will challenge them and develop their special talents.
