No More 'Uppity Blacks' in DC

From Jillian Bandes (Townhall, Obama and Dems Block School Choice for Underpriviliged Children):
Last month, House Democrats rejected a measure introduced by Republicans to keep the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program (DCOSP) in the federal budget past its 2010 expiration date. Last week, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced that no additional DC school children would be introduced into the voucher program because of the possibility Congress would withhold funding.

Hope and change.
