"We don't have enough slots for every child to go into a parochial school or a private school. And what you would see is a huge drain of resources out of the public schools," Obama said.
McCain advocates giving every parent a voucher to essentially choose which school they'd like to send their child. Obama, whose two daughters attend private school, said that idea would crush the public school system entirely.
"But what I don't want to do is to see a diminished commitment to the public schools to the point where all we have are the hardest-to-teach kids with the least involved parents with the most disabilities in the public schools," he said. "That's going to make things worse, and we're going to lose the commitment to public schools that I think have been so important to building this country."

that is a fucking out and out lie and I have heard this before, There are NO scholastics qualifications, they do not "take cream off the top"...they get the most motivated parents who sign up quickest and get thier kids in..his resources arguement is bullshit too, only 35% of funds per pupil is allowed to a voucher child, that still leaves 65% for a student they no longer have attending.
The idea is to make sure there are never enough slots.....pathetic.
