"Public schools are required to live up to the standards of accountability set out in the law, but they get no money. Now, the D.C. private schools are going to get the money, but there is no requirement for accountability." -- Sen. Tom Daschle, C-SD.

I'm not going to waste my breath pointing out the flaws in Daschle's "thinking", but I will note that DC Mayor Anthony Williams isn't pandering to unions, and wholeheartedly supports the voucher program.
