Michelle Malkin provides a transcript:
CLINTON: Suppose that you were meeting today to decide who got the vouchers. First parent comes and says 'I want to send my daughter to St. Peter's Roman Catholic School' and you say 'Great, wonderful school, here's your voucher. Next parent who comes says, 'I want to send, you know, my child to the Jewish Day School. Great here's your voucher! Next parent who comes says, "I want to send my child to the private school that I've already dreamed of sending my child to.' Fine. Here's your voucher.
Next parent who comes says, 'I want to send my child to the school of the Church of the White Supremacist.' You say, 'Wait a minute. You can't send...we're not giving a voucher for that.' And the parent says, 'Well, the way that I read Genesis, Cain was marked, therefore I believe in white supremacy. And therefore, you gave it to a Catholic parent, you gave it to a Jewish parent, gave it to a secular private parent. Under the Constitution, you can't discriminate against me.'
Suppose the next parent comes and says 'I want to send my child to the School of...the Jihad.' Wait a minute! We're not going to send a child with taxpayers dollars to the School of Jihad. 'Well, you gave it to the Catholics, gave it to the Jews, gave it to the private secular people. You're gonna tell me I can't? I'm a taxpayer. Under the Constitution.' Now, tell me how we're going to make those choices.
But Mrs. Clinton, we don't have to wait for the parents to make those choices; the schools are already teaching it and a federal judge approved it. We just want our money to escape the "stupid choices" the state is already making. It's not your money. Let us decide how we should spend it.
Question for Mrs. Clinton: Why does "pro-choice" end at birth?
Addendum: La Shawn chimes in today on the dumbing down of standards for black children and concludes,
Another generation of black kids have to settle for an inferior education, which will increase the need for race-based programs so they won’t be totally left behind the rest. The cycle will continue until parents decide, en masse, that their children’s academic preparation trumps politics.
You go La Shawn! (And thanks for mentioning me and other homeschoolers today!)

Hi ~ Ref. your comment on my blog, I just checked and the video is still there. Once you are in "free videos" you have to move the bar on the left up and get into the "US and World" videos. Once there, you'll find the video I was talking about. It's still there.
As to vouchers -- good editorial. I think our state is going to start giving us a tax break. I received this recently from HSLDA: (I like this way more than vouchers -- no strings).
Dear HSLDA members and friends:
How would you like to receive up to a $3,500 tax credit per child
against your New York State taxes? There are two bills in the New York
Legislature which would enable a parent to take a tax credit of up to
$3,500 per child for expenses they have incurred for the education of
their children.
Homeschool parents in New York would be able claim a tax credit for
the cost of any textbooks, instructional materials, software, or
equipment for core subject areas. Additionally, parents would be able
to include expenses for special education evaluation services and
programs.
The state and federal courts around the country have unanimously ruled
that tax credits are not governmental subsidies. This tax credit makes
is possible for you to keep more of your money and have a lower tax
bill. A recent news report indicated that Governor Pataki supports
education tax credits.

P.S. I added some info on my blog concerning "most dangerous profs." Bill Ayers is one of the professors spoken of - lots of issues with him, and he teaches early childhood education at the Univ. Ill., Chicago! David Horowitz exposes 101 (tip of the iceburg) dangerous professors in his new book that was just released.

I think she is full of it. It is amazing what does come out of her mouth. The Democrats are having problems already with the mojority of the USA, why do they allow her to constantly talk as she does. This is only hurting her and the Democratic Part. Time will tell what else will happen with her.
Sky high, seek peace,
