Op-Ed: Don’t buy the misdirection in Illinois school choice debate – Center Square

David Hodges and Daryl James, of the Institute for Justice: "Opponents of the scholarship program also claim private schools operate without accountability. Again, the argument is backward. Public schools hold public meetings and prepare public reports. But if they fail to deliver results, nothing happens. They still get state money. That is fake accountability – the kind with no consequences. By contrast, private schools must compete for customers. Unsatisfied families can take their money and walk away. That is true accountability.
