Choice for me but not for thee

What a shame. Thousands of children seeking a better education are on wait lists for charter schools and incoming House speaker Andy Dillon wants to tighten the restrictions further.

As a graduate of Detroit Catholic Central High School, you’d think Dillon would understand the desire of parents trying to escape the public schools that have failed their kids.
