But to suggest the group is actually controlled by the Catholic Church — or to suggest the Catholics are motivated on school choice simply because they want an infusion of tuition dollars for parochial schools — is ill-considered. There are intelligent arguments to be made against school choice. Catholic-baiting shouldn't be part of the opposition's strategy. |
