Re: Diane Ravitch • Help the ACLU Sue the State of Nevada to Stop Vouchers

Vouchers are a tool for injecting a viral species of market dynamics — the dynamics of private individuals competing in a zero-sum game for individual commodities — into a sphere where those dynamics are out of place and where they are ultimately destructive.  That is the sphere of cooperative, public, social institutions that must rise above the myopia of short-term private interests if they are to sustain themselves over the long haul of history.
