*The best fix for American democracy is to “outlaw private education” to banish inequity, according to novelist Ann Patchett. In the name of equality, parents must be prohibited any choice or effective role in their children’s schooling. Patchett also rhapsodized about confiscating Ivy League endowments to redistribute to state schools. Artist George Lois supplemented Patchett’s point with a poster proclaiming “There’s an OUCH in every Voucher.” But the pain is suffered by teacher unions, not by parents desperate to find escapes from educational hellholes.
