We are pleased to report that our first-ever School Choice Night was a success, inclement weather notwithstanding. Roughly two dozen concerned parents and taxpayers came out to hear speakers Derrell Bradford and Maureen Sullivan extol the virtues of educational freedom.

We are convinced that school choice is a powerful idea whose time has finally come. Why shouldn't parents choose the kind of education that's most appropriate for their children—whether it comes from a private school, a charter school or a traditional district school?

Not only would more charters (and—dare we hope—vouchers) introduce the salutary effects of market competition to a system that's still fairly monopolistic in nature. They would also save taxpayers money. In these hard fiscal times, school choice offers a pain-free way to do more with less.
