Both DFER’s Joe Williams and Michele McNeil of Edweek seem to think it’s a Very Big Deal that Barack Obama made comments yesterday that, while not exactly endorsing vouchers, didn’t slam the door on them either. Speaking to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Obama said that he is skeptical of private school voucher programs, such as Milwaukee’s, but added if studies prove the programs are successful, “you do what’s best for kids.”
First, I need to get over the idea that a candidate proposing to do what’s best for kids is a revelation. Williams characterizes Obama’s comments as what Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee called “a Holy S— Moment.” That would be nice. But it sounds more like a Dick Morris triangulation moment to me.
