Tennessee Is Moving Ahead on Effective School Reform
Regarding your April 15 editorial "Tennessee Voucher Fiasco" (April 15): I am an avid supporter of school choice. After passing the
largest expansion of our state's charter-schools law during my first
year in office, we began working to help design a voucher program that
would fit best into Tennessee's overall education reform efforts.
.....
Your claim that the School Boards Association or teachers unions
influenced this decision in any way is just plain wrong. Both groups
oppose vouchers in any form and never supported my bill. In fact, the
union ran television ads attacking vouchers. However, at the end of the
day, it was infighting among advocates and not the opposition's efforts
that derailed vouchers in Tennessee this year.
