Opportunity Scholarship Students' Message To President Obama

February 25, 2009| By Nathaniel Ward

Some worried D.C. schoolchildren recently asked President Obama to continue the highly successful D.C . Opportunity Scholarship Program. Heritage's Todd Thurman explains that "the program, which allows parents the choice to to take their children out of failing public schools, is in danger of being scrapped completely after the 2010 school year."

Thurman points readers to Voices of School Choice, a website put together by The Heritage Foundation "where you can see first-hand how this program benefits parents and their children and provides healthy competition for public schools."
