Stuff it, Sun Times

The Sun Times in their two editorials today has the audacity to go after a private, Catholic school, whose parents have chosen to send their children there at their own expense, while advocating in another editorial that the state sanction and profit from a gross and pernicious expansion in casino gambling to fund public schools. Gambling disproportionately harms the poor and is a regressive tax.

Come on Sun Times, be more up front. Why not directly advocate that public school students' smoke cigarettes to swell state coffers with cigarette tax revenue?

And keep your nose out of private schools' business. You're not paying for them. When you support school choice, then you can have your say. Until then, keep your sanctimonious and hypocritical posturing to yourselves.

UPDATE: Great minds, and all that:)...John Ruskin, Illinois Review has a specific example of liberal hypocrisy that neatly ties these two issues together. You can't make this stuff up.

UPDATE: Dan Proft on the real school reform legislators should address.
