Why Do Democrats Hate School Choice?

If the Democrats love kids so much, why do they go to such great lengths to harm them? For that's what they do, harm kids by maintaining the welfare state, discouraging stable families, promoting counter-productive sex education, overtaxing their parents, and forcing them to attend dangerous and ever-failing government schools.

Regarding the latter, take a look at this "quick hit" list of facts and observations (assembled by Rory Cooper over at NRO's The Foundry) relevant to the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program and the Democrat Congress' efforts to dismantle it.

And, over here, Juan Williams (certainly no rock-ribbed conservative) weighs in on the same matter in a hard-hitting column titled "Obama’s Outrageous Sin Against Our Kids."
