Hillary Claims School Vouchers to Foster Terrorism

Hillary is claiming that students will be able to attend "school of the Church of the White Supremacist" or the "School of the Jihad." if vouchers become a fact.

President George W. Bush has long favored laws that require states to provide vouchers, a position that earned him the allegiance of conservative Christian groups that have clamored for public education dollars.

"First family that comes and says 'I want to send my daughter to St. Peter's Roman Catholic School' and you say 'Great, wonderful school, here's your voucher,'" Clinton said. "Next parent that comes and says, 'I want to send my child to the school of the Church of the White Supremacist ...' The parent says, 'The way that I read Genesis, Cain was marked, therefore I believe in white supremacy. ... You gave it to a Catholic parent, you gave it to a Jewish parent, under the Constitution, you can't discriminate against me.'"

As an adoring, if somewhat puzzled, audience of Bronx activists looked on, Clinton added, "So what if the next parent comes and says, 'I want to send my child to the School of the Jihad? ... I won't stand for it."

The only problem I see is that private schools are legal and voucher programs are not new. It would be nice if Hillary would provide us with some examples. Although I favor school voucher programs, I don't believe anyone is concidering "forcing" the school systems to start voucher programs. The issue as I understand it is to not penalize the school systems with funds for going into the a voucher program. Although I believe in a good voucher program, the federal government has no dog in this fight and does need to keep out of it. This is a State and Local issue, and the porkers in congress need to stay away from this one.

Michelle Malkin has more, lots more.
