Democrat Josh Shapiro Defects on School Choice

democrat Terry McAuliffe lost his race for governor of Virginia last year when he suggested parents drop out of their children’s education. Floridas Charlie Crist last month named a teachers union president as his running mate. But a Democratic gubernatorial candidate takes a different approach.

Attorney General of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro has tacitly endorsed the choice of private school. Its campaign website is calling for “the addition of parenting choices and student educational opportunities and funding for life-saving grants like those approved in other states and implemented in Pennsylvania” — language missing as of Sept. 7, according to the Internet Archive.
