Misuse of Taxpayers Money by Parents is NOT “An Attack on Children”

In this report about a snafu by the Arizona State Department of Education, Cronkite News focused on the DOE’s mistakes more than the more substantial issue of the parents’ abuse of taxpayers funds for children.
It seems that the Arizona legislature was so intent on offering unregulated choice to parents that it completely overlooked the possibility that some parents might abuse the money they got or accumulate it in their de facto bank accounts. The response of the choice advocate in the last paragraph, though, took the cake! He characterizes any questions about the parents use of these funds as ” an attack on children.” If a teacher or principal failed to use funds for their intended purpose I don’t imagine taxpayers would be at all happy.
