Liberal and Conservative Senators Unite on Bill to Reinstate D.C. School Vouchers

Washington (CNSNews.com) – A bipartisan group of senators announced Thursday that they plan to introduce legislation to revive the District of Columbia’s recently terminated D.C. Opportunity Scholarship school-voucher program.

“It’s not a liberal or conservative program, it’s a program that puts children first,” said Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) Thursday at a Capitol Hill press conference announcing the effort.

“I’m happy to say it’s a program that’s working to give D.C. children, every one of them, a chance at a better education.”
