BARACK OBAMA -- AGAINST PRIVATE EDUCATION

for your kid.  In favor of private education for his kid.  Quotable:

Everyone knows [fixing socialized education] is a long, hard slog, but Mr. Obama and his wife aren't waiting. Their daughters attend the private University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, where annual tuition ranges from $15,528 for kindergarten to $20,445 for high school.
I was just looking it up, and it turns out the typical big city school district spends twice or three times as much money as does the school district which my own children attend.  The Chicago school district currently spends $10,555 per student, a sum much larger than that spent per student by the district my children attend.  40% of Chicago's public school teachers send their own kids to private schools, so Obama has massive company among fellow leftwing anti-choice hypocrites in Chicago.
