Utahns for Public Schools, a.k.a. teacher union, has launched a referendum petition drive against the newly passed school choice law in Utah. This newly passed landmark educational voucher program allows families a reimbursement between $500 and $3,000 per child for annual tuition paid to the private school of their choice.  There is disagreement on how effective this petition drive will be in the long run, but never underestimate the power of the BLOB (Big Learning Organization Bureaucrats). Radio talk show host, Mike Rosen, wrote an excellent editorial in the Rocky Mountain News regarding the battle for parental choice in education.  This shows the reasons why we must build a strong grassroots foundation as the parental choice movement in North Carolina gains strength.
