On school choice, Damon's actions speak louder than words

Orange County Register  "Matt Damon, the most outspoken celebrity supporter of public schools and teachers unions, is moving to Los Angeles and enrolling his four children in private schools.

"Damon told Britain's The Guardian, which broke the Edward Snowden/NSA story (apparently, American journalism has been outsourced overseas), "Sending our kids in my family to private school was a big, big deal. And it was a giant family discussion. But it was a circular conversation, really, because ultimately we don't have a choice."

"Actually, he has money and can send his kids to school anywhere, so he does have a choice. Damon wants to deny the rest of America school choice by opposing the voucher system."
