Corner: School vouchers make the grade Last
Wednesday, President Bush made good on his number one campaign promise
to try to achieve meaningful education reform and put forth his
plan to help better educate our youth. Yet, almost instantaneously
after the announcing of his plan by White House Press Secretary
Ari Flescher, the Democrats began criticizing it and, in turn, laid
out their own plan, a plan that is, in many regards, similar to
that of Bush's, but with language strongly in opposition to a school
voucher program, leaving little room for compromise.
A
first-class ticket I
was going to avoid joining the fray about Bowdoin parking, but I
witnessed an event yesterday that made me understand exactly why
my fellow Bowdoin students are so upset about this fiasco. I hereby
submit this story in the hope that it will seem as crazy to you
as it did to me.
