JBHMilton Friedman’s distilled short version of why vouchers work:
HotAir has the news roundup on Alabama’s introduction of a voucher system, where the left reacted with rage.

Milton Friedman’s elaborate, thorough version of why vouchers work, why centralization is a problem, and why decentralization and freedom to choose solves many educational problems:
Around 18:40, he begins to discuss “the modern view”, which is much of what Cass Sunstein and the masters-of-men anointed elite regulators believe. Friedman then goes on to explain how that relates to schooling, and the collectivist vs. individualist view of the purpose of education.
Friedman is not your usual kind of thinker, he writes outside of the box of most traditional people. He takes aim at those in a critical way to bring about what is the real issue at stake. Anyone who has taken the time to read Friedman, knows to expect the unexpected in a conversation. I’m glad that Alabama has taken to time to listen in implementation of their voucher program.
