Somebody needs to reach Kevin Carey in his hermetically-sealed DC bubble to let him know that at least some people who “are serious about education policy” seem to care about vouchers — that is, unless we want to believe that the editorial boards of the country’s largest newspapers with total circulation in excess of 5 million readers shouldn’t be considered as serious as policy analysts at tiny DC think tanks.

“You issued a series of clear warnings and set phasers to snark before firing, Jim, but his attacks continued. Resetting phasers to kill was the only logical course of action under those circumstances.”
“I suppose you’re right. If only all species could learn to transcend the need for senseless violence, as humanity has. Hopefully someday this godforsaken planet known as DC will be enlightened enough to join the Federation – but clearly not yet.”
“I believe our work here is done, Jim.”
“Yes, indeed. Mr. Scott, three to beam up.”
