Obviously, you fail to see the logic behind the idea.  Perhaps offering education vouchers is a better idea than offering welfare/food stamps.  Imagine if we did away with the useless Department of Education and used the cost savings to fund a school choice program.  Which would be better for the single mother and her child in the referenced scenario?  More money via welfare/food stamps, or money to put towards her child's education that has the potential to lift them out of poverty?

 

Liberals don't like "for profit school systems", yet that is the argument that they bring up all of the time.  Refer to the above posts regarding "equal opportunity".  A "rich" family can send their child to a private school, which is considered "better" than our public school system.  It is a "for profit school".  Why should a poor single mother not have the option to do the same with her child?  Isn't that "equal opportunity"?

 

By the way, just a small fact.  President Obama and his wife send their children to a private "for profit" school.
