SCHOOL VOUCHERS ARE TO THE RIGHT AS UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE TO THE LEFT:

Most U.S. parents like their kids' schools: poll (CBC, August 24, 2009)

The majority of American parents like the schools their children attend, but hate the U.S. public school system overall, according to a poll released Monday.

Gallup Inc. said 76 per cent of U.S. adults were at least somewhat satisfied with the level of education their own child or children receive in that country's public school system. [...]

"It is not unusual to find that Americans rate aspects of society more negatively at the national level than they do at the local level. Education is a prime example of this phenomenon," the Princeton, N.J.-based pollster said in an analysis of its findings.

So you're trying to convince parents who are happy with their schools to admit kids from the "lousy" schools (particularly kids who are ethnically other). It won't fly, Orville.
