The Utah Vouchers issue is bringing out the worst in people as they have started lying on camera in order to stop Referendum 1, a program that will increase the quality of public schools. I strongly encourage you to Vote for 1. If you believe that phony ad with the “teacher of the year” you are believing a lie. Even KSL pointed out how false and misleading these are.
Vote for Referendum 1!

I’ve been very tired of hearing the lies and seeing sacrine rope-a-dope commercials. Patrick Byrne, the primary funder of the Utah voucher campaign should have started a charter school instead. Here is a look at Byrne’s beliefs and the underlying motives of both sides. Find out who is funding the voucher battle and what their real motives are click here> for more
I don’t think Byrne should just go start a charter school instead. Byrne is working to change the mindset of people who are used to living a life of handouts and no self-reliance.

Vouchers are a handout. If you want to change the “handout” mindset, don’t encourage more of them. Encourage people to take charge of their own education without expecting a kick-back from the government. I know that it’s not fair that you pay for public ed. with your property taxes, but expecting the government to make up for that with another type of “handout” program makes no sense at all. Fight for real change, not a fascist substitute.
@Richard,
It’s pretty hard to think that the article you cite is accurate since it called Ayn (the article misspelled it as “Ayne”) Rand a libertarian, and the PTA a union. Neither of which is even remotely true. What is true is that whoever wrote that article displayed his/her ignorance.
