choice for rich people

Leo Morris asks an interesting question about President-elect Obama (and his family): where will they send their kids to school?

To his credit, Obama supports charter schools. So far, he opposes educational vouchers-- for the usual, lame excuses.....errrr, reasons.


Obama has the luxury of sending his kids to any school he wants to, and no one should fault him for putting their interests first (and the disruptions caused in a public school by the Secret Service are probably one good argument against that option). But if he chooses an elite private school, he at least needs to explain why he doesn’t favor giving all parents some of that same flexibility to put their children’s interests first.
