Rogers consistent in support of kitchen sink approach to education

Chip Rogers has drawn the ire of voters after comments about his support for vouchers at a recent debate.  Support of a state-wide voucher system would likely not pass constitutional muster, highlights Rogers' disdain for public education and shows his wanton delight in forcing taxpayers to finance religious organizations.

What is left out of his rhetoric is any concrete plan - other than "kitchen sink" - to improve education.  There is no evidence that broadly supports his privatize and outsource approach, whether it's charters, vouchers or virtual academies. 

We need real leadership that has the political courage to look at what has worked - in the United States and worldwide.  Weak-kneed corporate lackeys who can only parrot their masters' "choice" rhetoric need not apply.
