When you're reduced to calling for your critics to be silenced, it's clear that your arguments are built on a house of cards.

But what do you expect from the NY Daily News? nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…

No word about how the public schools down the street are doing. How many former students from those schools regularly get NYDN and NYT op-eds calling for a massive overhaul because of the failure of the system?

For those who want to know what's actually going on in Haredi schools, listen to my interview of Dr. Moshe Krakowski, who has spent years studying the schools.

Rev. Anderson cites a recent poll showing that 75% of Arizonans support #SchoolChoice, noting:

"The poll shows that minorities and Democrats, of which I am both, support school choice and ESAs even more so than Caucasians and Republicans."

#SchoolChoice is especially important for kids who fell behind due to COVID. As Rev. Anderson wrote:

"People of all parties & races support low-income & Black & brown students (who are now about 12 months behind their white counterparts) receiving the help they desperately need"

It’s amazing how widespread this myth is. It’s pernicious. People who should know better keep spreading it even after being exposed repeatedly to the truth. It’s clearly in bad faith at this point.

FACT: School choice far predates segregation. Voucher programs were proposed by Thomas Paine in “Rights of Man” (1791) and John Stuart Mill in “On Liberty” (1859). Their arguments had NOTHING to do with race.
