Republican presidential candidate John McCain lambasted Democrat Barack Obama at the NAACP Convention for refusing to support scholarships for low-income students, singling out Obama’s refusal to help kids in the nation’s capital.
“In remarks to the American Federation of Teachers last weekend, Senator Obama dismissed public support for private school vouchers for low-income Americans as, ‘tired rhetoric about vouchers and school choice.’ All of that went over well with the teachers union, but where does it leave families and their children who are stuck in failing schools?” asked McCain. “No entrenched bureaucracy or union should deny parents that choice and children that opportunity.”
