Kucinich: Vouchers Are No Solution
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 17, 2003
Republicans in Congress are again promoting a school vouchers plan for Washington, D.C.
Today Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich released this statement:
"Vouchers are no solution for poor students, no solution for education in America. The citizens of the District of Columbia know this, and the Republicans who are seeking to push through a vouchers plan without open debate know it too. Vouchers take money away from many students to provide it to a few. This is not the answer. The solution is to take money away from a bloated Pentagon budget, from President Bush's tax cuts for the extremely wealthy, and from an occupation of Iraq that needs to be ended, and invest that money in public education. As President, I will lead the fight to improve public schools, and oppose alternatives that divert attention, energy, and resources from efforts to reduce class size, enhance teacher quality, and provide every student with books, computers, and safe and orderly schools. I will at the same time work to provide the District of Columbia with statehood and full voting representation in Congress so that the citizens of DC become full citizens able to defeat proposals like this one through the democratic process."
