A reactionary establishment Bob Chase is president of the 2.2 million-member National Education Association, the nation's biggest union, which sent more delegates to the 1996 Democratic convention than did the state of California. Chase told Miller he would not accept the voucher plan if inner-city funding were doubled or even tripled . Having let them state their predictable case, Mr. Miller still took the trouble to demolish anti-choice arguments. There is no evidence that vouchers work . Miller finds this ironic coming from people who have done everything in their power to quash choice.
Vouchers drain money from public schools .
Vouchers are unconstitutional . The capacity isn't there . But even a limited exodus, he thinks, would spur efforts to improve public schools, making vouchers a win-win situation. Profit is bad . Yes, says Miller, but it wouldn't be the first time.
