Helping parents to be parents

Jack Coons has long been one of our nation's most articulate and, to my mind, persuasive defenders of law that helps parents to be parents by allowing them to send their children to schools that they judge to be best for their children. It's easy for the rich to send their children to the best schools. Non-rich parents need the help of good law. Jack and his allies in the project of guaranteeing parents' opportunity to choose their children's schools have advocated, season in and season out, law reform that will meet the needs of non-rich families. Jack's most recent defense of "school choice" can be found here.  It deserves a wide circulation.
