Opposition

By Prof. Harry Hutchison, published on Sept. 1, 1991

To be sure, any effort to change the existing education establishment within the city of Detroit will face opposition from interest groups. Some will claim that full blown choice 1) exacerbates inequality, 2) entangles the government in a church-state morass, and 3) leads to fraud, waste and lack of accountability. In our view, these claims are without merit.
