Latino Voters Want School Choice

Two recent public opinion surveys show Hispanics strongly in favor of school choice programs, with one poll showing this to be a top voting issue. The other poll showed Hispanic voters to be three times more likely to vote for candidates supporting school choice than candidates who do not. The poll also showed 82% of Latino voters view education as one of the top three issues. Too bad so many politicians who receive votes from Hispanics place the self interests of the teacher unions, which oppose school choice, above the needs and desires of these Hispanic voters. Worse still, is the fact that most of these voters are unaware the candidates they usually vote for won’t support parental choice in education for fear of antagonizing the teacher unions.
