William McGurn of the Wall Street Journal reports on what ought to be a major news story. Congressional Democrats are working to end the Washington, DC school voucher program, a program which is supported by the head of the DC school system.
Two of the program's beneficiaries go to the same private school that Barack Obama's daughter attend, and they may not be able to attend the school without the voucher (unless of course the school or a donor "solves" the political problem by making up the funding provided by the voucher).
So will Obama stand up to the teachers' unions to insist the bill preserve the voucher program? Or will he demonstrate to everyone, including his own children, that quality education is less important than satisfying a key Democratic constituency?
