They pay major donors to do the research.....
Its becoming more and more difficult to avoid writing about Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker these days. What a shame, so many of us would like to escape all Walker-related thoughts, but alas
No sooner had I written WI Gov. Walker, GOP govs tempered (you can stop laughing now) as they seek 2nd terms; Dems slam GOP at convention than I ran across another article about Gov. Scotty from The Marshfield News Herald.
This one is about campaign finance reports showing that Walker and GOP legislators are using research that supports expanding the states school voucher program. So? Whats wrong with that, you ask? Well, I respond, that research was paid for by the same special interest groups that support many GOP candidates who are pushing for those very vouchers.
I sense very little surprise from you about this. This is completely understandable. It is also completely expected.
This Republican-I-approve-this-message study is being slammed by other researchers who say its all kinds of flawed, that voucher schools are no better than public schools:
