D.C. Armey Responds to the President's DC School Choice Veto P resident Bush is finally changing the way Washington views education. After eight years of simply talking about a failed education system, this president is doing something about it. Under his leadership, politicians are beginning to realize that schools need to be held responsible for what they do - or fail to do. But the old guard still resists change. But choice should be at the heart of education reform.
Choice spurs competition.
And competition sparks innovation, productivity, and academic rigor. Without it, there's no incentive to improve. Without it, hopes fade and dreams of the future dissolve into visions of harsh reality. We can't let that continue. So I will offer an amendment on the House floor as early as today restoring all of the president's school choice provisions.
