Letter to the Editor Ed. An Old Solution to a New Problem, Op. These last few years have demonstrated to all Hamilton County residents that there is not one particular solution to solving the education problem in America. No one has yet designed a system of education that would deliver a perfectly equal education to all children.
School choice narrows the gap.
Choice has broad-based support in Hamilton County, and crosses political, economic and racial boundaries. Although many of our parents choose to send their children to Christian schools, those options remain up to the parents. CEO scholarships provide opportunities for quality education where none existed before by making the excellence of private schools available to families of lower socioeconomic status. These parents are now aware of their options and will not stop in their quest for their right to choose the best education for their children. Hamilton County parents, including many African-American and economically disadvantaged parents, are discovering that school choice gives them the fiscal authority to send their child to the educational institution that best suits their child.
