Ken Blackwell: School choice is the only solution to what’s wrong with public schools

Public school administrators wield a great deal of power over our children’s lives − too much power. The only solution is school choice.

Senator Elizabeth Warren has decided that if she becomes president, she will give herself the right to pick which private schools receive federal subsidies and which private school donors are allowed deductions.
