Either vouchers are effective or they're not, in which case the program should be canceled, or continued. He's not concerned about the "disruption" to the kids, rather the potential disruption of local Obama worship.

Amazing how the King is able to pander to both sides at once.

“controversial”

Only with the help of the DNC and the Teacher’s Union could a program that does a better job of educating children, with less money, be considered “controversial”.

Maybe if they held a class on fitting condoms to bananas, it would be less “controversial”.

Sheesh.

Obama must now convince Democratic lawmakers to endorse a gradual phase out ...

They still want Black people on to stay on the plantation. They'll just lie about it this year and then next year, cut the legs out from under us while we're asleep. I hate this man. I really really hate him.

Shameful! Not allowing new participants is an assurance of failure for these children.

Ironic that the voting bloc that supported him most overwhelmingly (blacks) are the ones that may be most harmed by his policies.

So public pressure actually worked this time?

The DC voucher program has been wildly successful:

...guess Obami must have watched F&F this am where a mom and her daughter wanted to know why her daughter was not going to be able to attend the same school as Obami’s kids....
Guess the appearance worked....he caved, because he was exposed as the fake he is....

Since the Obama daughters both attend a private school, it would be politically foolish and embarrassing to deprive poor children in DC from attending private schools.

Obama is doing this because his daughters classmates would be hurt and they might dislike his girls because of his pay to play to teachers unions.

It’s also providing a challenge to President Barack Obama’s education policies that’s as close to home as his daughters’ classrooms.

So, he’ll harm families and children later, rather than right now.

$12 Million for one school year? How many kids are using the voucher program? I’m all for it but that seems like someone is putting some in a pocket somewhere....

All he’s done is keep the program going until all the students have graduated, which is great. Then the program will be discontinued completely.
