All we have heard in the recent past is equity. This is true equity. Why should a student be locked to a failing school?
I know one MAJOR reason. Teacher's Unions do not want school choice, which ironically, neither do Democrats (not to get into politics, but again, all we have heard about is equity being spewed by all sides of political aisles). Teacher's unions (at least here in Indiana) automatically deduct a portion of the union dues to go directly to political action that DIRECTLY "supports" public education. You must opt out if you do not want your union dues going to these political action groups.
