Eleanor Holmes Norton: 2003: Criticized vouchers in DC public schools

D.C. Mayor Williams in 2003 helped initiate a system called the "Opportunity Scholarship Program" to provide more than 1,000 vouchers per year to poor children in the failing public school system. Mayor Williams has of course received the expected outrag and criticism from the teachers' unions and so-called Black leaders like D.C. congressional delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, but he knows that education and doing all he can to provide a better future for D.C.'s children is more important than politics.

Herman Cain: Vouchers in DC public schools made a better future for kids

D.C. Mayor Williams in 2003 helped initiate a system to provide more than 1,000 vouchers per year to poor children in the failing public school system. The voucher system, called the "Opportunity Scholarship Program," allows students from financially troubled homes to attend private schools. Williams received the expected outrage and criticism from the teachers' unions, but he knows that education and doing all he can to provide a better future for D.C.'s children is more important than politics.
