“University of Chicago economist Milton Friedman, who first floated the idea in a 1955 essay, lectured a 2006 ALEC meeting on the need for vouchers. “How do we get from where we are to where we want to be?” he asked. The ideal way “would be to abolish the public school system.” But alas, “you’re not gonna get there.” Dismantling public schools in one fell swoop would be political suicide, but introducing a universal voucher system, he explained to thunderous applause, is a politically more palatable way of reaching the same goal.”
