Sotomayor: Another Beneficiary of School Choice

Reprinted in full from Powerline (emphasis added):

A friend informs me that if Judge Sotomayor becomes Justice Sotomayor, she will join Clarence Thomas as the second current Justice whose origins include poverty and a single parent family. Judge Sotomayor is a Catholic school product. She attended the Blessed Sacrament School in the Bronx and then Cardinal Spellman High School.

Justice Thomas also graduated from Catholic schools. There are no Justices from poor, single parent families who graduated from public school.

My friend wonders: how many other future Supreme Court Justices could attend Catholic school if the president supported vouchers? And how many potential high achievers will not advance as far as they otherwise would because, in the absence of vouchers, they are trapped in failing schools?

President Obama: Why?

With thanks to National Review and Powerline:

These Photos Need Captions!

The Obama White House has a flickr stream.

Some of these photos REALLY need captions.



"I am so glad none of these common negro children will be attending my daughters' elite private school!"

If the public schools are so great, why has Obama never sent his children to one?
