Education is not a Commodity!

McCain teed up a perfect opportunity for Obama, and sadly he did not knock it out of the park:
McCain: Well, sure. I'm sure you're aware, Sen. Obama, of the program in the Washington, D.C., school system where vouchers are provided and there's a certain number, I think it's a thousand and some and some 9,000 parents asked to be eligible for that.
So among those parents who knew about the program and tried to get in, nearly 90% were forced to send their kids back to failing schools.  And then there's all the parents who didn't know about the plan (or didn't ask to be included).  What about them, Senator McCain?

This is not a solution. It is not acceptable.  And it's damn close to what Brown v. Board ruled unconstitutional.  I, for one, refuse to live in that America any longer!
