“…When parents and children come to realize that their
educational choices can make a difference in their lives, they will assume
responsibility to use these choices wisely…It will result in an entire
generation of children growing up and believing that they are responsible human
beings.”
Bret Schundler, Mayor of Jersey City, New
Jersey | “If parents
of students have the right to choose so many other basics in their
lives—such as where they live, where they go to church, where they
work—then they ought have the right to choose where their children go to
school.”
Kurt Schmooke, Mayor of Baltimore,
Maryland | “What’s wrong with education cannot be fixed with
technology. No amount of technology will make a dent. It’s a political
problem…. I’m one of those who believe the best thing we could ever
do is go to the full voucher system.”
Steve Jobs,
Co-founder, Apple Computer | "I believe that if Martin Luther King and A.D. King were here
they would say ‘Do what’s best for the children.’ It [the idea
for school vouchers] may sound radical, but so were they.” And, “Is
it moral to tax families, compel their children’s attendance at schools,
and then give no choice between teaching methods, religious or secular education
and other matters?”
Alveda King, Niece of Martin Luther
King, Jr.
