In today’s Journal, a candidate for Pennsylvania governor offers a hard-hitting argument for school choice. And this is no “lifeboats for the worst off” argument for rinky-dink vouchers. He denounces the money myth and argues that every institution needs competition to thrive – the argument for universal choice.
Oh, did I mention he’s Democrat Anthony Williams?
The unions are still strong, but every day they’re a little bit less strong. And this is how it happens – the social justice folks are waking up to realize what the unions are all about, and they’re starting to contest the unions’ hammerlock on the Democratic party. What was it Danny DeVito said in Other People’s Money? “Obsolescence . . . down the tubes, slow but sure.”

At least as important as State Senator Anthony Williams’ party affiliation is the – how to approach this delicately? – dusky cast of his visage.
If the racial factor in the education choice debate rises to the national level it’s liable to fracture the black vote upon which Democratic success is dependent. President Obama, during his tenure as a state senator representing the South Side of Chicago, might easily have been confronted by the rising pressure in the black community with regard to education choice. That might explain his willingness to give the NEA conniptions.
