Why do liberals oppose better education for the poor?

"School choice is the civil rights issue of the 21st century" says Kevin Chavous, the executive of the American Federation of Children. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Congressman Luke Messer (R-ID) introduced new legislation that if passed, will offer federal grants to low-income parents so they can choose a private school for their child if the local public school is unsatisfactory.

Vouchers, along with tax credits, are given to families as a way for lawmakers to provide children from low-income families with these opportunities. However, states differ in their experience with school choice policies. The first state to institute a voucher system was Vermont, which has had some form of voucher policy since 1869. Their head start on school choice has allowed them to create a system in which many children have the ability to receive a voucher, with an approximate value of $14,000.

That is not to say that everyone is in favor of school choice- it's still quite controversial in many places. In Vermont about 70% of voters support the voucher program, putting them close to the national average of 69%. A recent national study done by the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice shows that, mothers are 66% in support of vouchers, and 69% in support of tax credits. Surprisingly, mothers are slightly less likely than the average American to support vouchers.
