Ratliff against school vouchers

Former Texas Lt. Governor Bill Ratliff, R-Mt. Pleasant, has come out against school vouchers. I think this is a great quote:

“We don’t understand how it is that if you have a campus with 500 children and 100 somehow… take advantage of the voucher and go somewhere else, how does that affect the other 400?” Ratliff said. “If it’s a bad school and we take a hundred of them out with vouchers, it’s still a bad school. We believe a far better course… is fix the school. Don’t abandon 400 children for the sake of the hundred.”
