| Message | Why not promote free education in the pre-college schools also? Your School Competition act doesn't match the sentiment of this bill. |

| Message | Sure it does. Poor kids can use vouchers, where the govt. gives the family the $ back, which would have other wise been wasted on public school unionists. Then the $ is spent on a school of their choice! Less Bureaucracy and verybody wins! |
