| CO Gov Candidate Condemns School Vouchers, But Sent Her Kids to Private Schools |
| 2018-06-23 |
| [Free Beacon] Cary Kennedy, a former state treasurer now running for governor in Colorado, said she has been "blessed" to be able to send her own children to private school. But at the same time she is running on an education platform solidly opposed to voucher programs, which help move some children out of a failing public school and into a private school. Many on the right have long criticized these kinds of arrangements as fundamental hypocrisy on education policy, something Kennedy was asked about at a recently televised debate. "Cary, you're opposed to vouchers in education, and yet you sent your own kids to private school through eighth grade," said Shaun Boyd, a reporter with the local CBS affiliate. "What do you say to parents who want that same opportunity for their kids but can’t afford it?" "I don't support taking public money‐public taxpayer money‐out of the public education system to send it to private school in the form of vouchers." Kennedy went on to say she believes voucher systems leave the overall public school system with "diminishing resources." |

| #5 "I don't support taking public money‐public taxpayer money‐out of the public education system to send it to private school in the form of vouchers." Because if she did the teachers' union would withdraw their support for her candidacy. |

| #4 "I don't support taking public money‐public taxpayer money‐out of the public education system to send it to private school in the form of vouchers." As it should since the public 'education' system then no longer has the high cost of 'educating' the children who use vouchers. |
