Why is it that in 2007 we still offer an education system reminiscent of the Soviet Union? Yes, places like the University of Phoenix have brought new options and experimentation at the college level. But our kids are still suffering. Most primary schools are run as state-controlled monopolies with bureaucrats running the show. It’s all based on where a child lives, and some kids lose out while others luck out. Thankfully, Utah is thinking outside the box. Passing by one vote in the Utah state house, the state is setting up a program whereby 100 percent of kids will get vouchers to go to school where they want. The amount of the voucher will be based on parental income, but every single child will be able to attend private school if they wish. Florida, Ohio, Arizona and Wisconsin are a few other states that have tried new voucher programs. There are always lawsuits going on and it’s been an uphill battle. But Clark is proud that some of our states have such vision. Every child is different and every child needs a certain environment to grow and learn.
