School Choice, No Radical Idea

From John Hood's Syndicated Weekly Column:

It’s been 50 years since economist Milton Friedman first offered his proposal of tax-funded vouchers to assist students choosing to attend private schools. Since that time, parental choice in education – encompassing government policies such as vouchers, tax credits, and charter schools as well as purely private initiatives such as scholarship funds and home schools – has undoubtedly been the most controversial and widely studied idea in school reform.
