The School Choice Debate

Written by  Craig Cohen

Likening it to the Civil Rights movement, two state senators, Democrat Anthony Williams of Philadelphia and Republican Jeff Piccola of Dauphin County, unveil a school-voucher proposal that would allow low-income students to take their school subsidy to the public, private or religious school of their choice in Pennsylvania. Sen. Williams asserts, "Standing in the way of school choice for needy kids in failing urban schools is like Gov. George Wallace standing in the doorway of a classroom to continue the segregation of the '60s." Join us on Smart Talk Thursday night at 8 for a spirited discussion of school choice.  Please join the conversation.  We'll take your calls live at 1-800-729-7532 and emails/comments at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
