Lonny, “rich kids” already have school choice. They go to private or parochial schools, or they move out of the Wichita school district.

It’s lower income families that don’t have choice. They can’t move to Maize or Andover.

In many districts across the country, it’s lower income families that take greatest advantage of school choice programs, and who are the most grateful for the opportunity to escape their failing school districts.
