Bev Perdue Sucks

Just wanted to voice my opinion on a recent ad that has been plaguing my TV over the past few weeks:

Bev Perdue's campaign says Pat McCrory is "wrong on vouchers." It stipulates that McCrory is for a plan that would "cost the state's school system 900 million dollars" and help "private school kids." The private school portion of the ad is accompanied by a picture of an Ivy-League-esque looking building. What a crock.

Why shouldn't the State reimburse parent's for taking their children out of crappy government schools? The sad truth is that for a majority of families, there is LITTLE TO NO CHOICE buto to send a child to a local public school that may or may not meet their child's needs. The State spends a certain amount of money on each child, each year, and by taking that child out of that crappy school, the parent's are saving the State money. Shouldn't they receive at least a portion of that in the form of a voucher towards a private education of the parent's choice?

The State takes your money, mismanages a school system, and forces you to send your child through said mismanaged school system. Your only other alternative is to foot the bill for a private (or home) school, a feat that is out of reach for a majority of households.

Is Bev Perdue scared to introduce a little good hearted competition to our public schools? Heaven forbid they have to actually be forced to raise the bar, or risk loosing students to vouchers.
