(Guest post by Greg Forster)
Today I sent the following letter to the Wall Street Journal:
To the Editor:
I wish to correct a factual error in your otherwise outstanding editorial “Bashing Career Colleges” (July 22). You erroneously state that “Pell grants and other public aid can be used like a voucher for public or private colleges and universities.” In fact, Pell grants and other government-sponsored college scholarships cannot be used “like” school vouchers because they are school vouchers.
As long as we’re asking why school vouchers are wonderful for students at non-profit colleges but deplorable for students at for-profit colleges, let’s also ask why they’re wonderful for students at non-profit colleges but deplorable for students at non-profit high schools!

Greg,
Short & right on target. Let me know if you get a reply.

I had a lefty law prof explain it to me in terms I could understand, “that’s completely different”, followed by a firm nod. There are times when it’s clear that further discussion would be superfluous on both sides.
Well, in his defense, it is completely different – but for reasons he’d rather not put into words lest he reveal (especially to himself) the true basis of his position!
