In “The Monopolist Turns Free-Marketer,” Gregg Edwards describes the new legislation that establishes a program for low-income kids in seven failing urban school districts to get scholarships to attend other private of public schools. Edwards assumes that many parents of these kids would choose to send their kids to local parochial schools, which are non-unionized and often struggling because parents can’t afford the tuition. The NJEA is opposing the bill, and Edwards takes them to task for “an argument so intellectually dishonest that it profoundly discredited the profession it represents.”Labels: NJEA
