What's missing from this unconvincing piece by Michael Tobman arguing that both Democrats and Republicans would be wise to support school vouchers?  Well, for starters, any pretext of an argument that school vouchers are good for children.

The most offensive part may be this: 

Further, supporting education policies that benefit families who send their children to Yeshivas would provide candidates with something worthwhile and productive to speak about in committed Jewish communities other than the usual and predictable comments on Israel and the Middle East.

And with Utahns' overwhelming vote yesterday against vouchers, Tobman's argument that vouchers are a political winner for anyone is laughable.

Tobman has broken new ground with this piece: It is as cynical and shallow as education commentary can get and still be publishable.  Even by the Weekly Standards' standards.
