(Guest Post by Matthew Ladner)
Dan Lips on Notre Dame’s efforts to save opportunity scholarships. A student group has established a blog to help coordinate the effort.
I’ve had the opportunity to meet a few of the Fighting Irish involved in this effort. I can confidently report that the bad guys are in for some trouble, as indicated by this quote from Father Timothy Scully:
Today I’d like to ask you to join me in this fight, both to keep the DC parental choice program alive and to expand our capacity to provide educational opportunities to poor families. The social justice and education teachings of the Church have always courageously asserted that parents are the primary educators of their children, and that parents must have the right to choose the school their children attend. This is the central value proposition of parental choice. This is why I am so committed to this battle.
