Yarbrough: Endorsement spurs voucher debate
Placeholder Image
What in the world was state School Superintendent John Barge thinking when he endorsed the re-election campaign of State Sen. Majority Leader Chip Rogers, R-Woodstock? Rogers, in case you are not aware, is not exactly public education’s best friend. Rogers talks about education “being in his blood” and then proceeds to bleed public schools by promoting a variety of schemes, including school vouchers, virtual schools and pushing the state to take control of the process for creating charter schools (and the campaign contributions of for-profit charter school management companies that comes with that) away from local school systems.
