Conservatives Go to War — Against Each Other — Over School Vouchers
School choice advocates are intent on expanding the availability of vouchers to fund private education at the expense of public schools, but rural residents of these targeted states are putting up some of the strongest resistance.
Thrush understands the appeal of vouchers for parents who want a leg up for their kid. But, he told me, “we need to be looking at how we’re preparing all students to be successful, not just my student.”
This is a great example of how conservatives think. They are not inherently selfish; they think about how things benefit the larger group.
The difference is, they think of the world as a hierarchy with different groups at different levels. Anyone threatening that hierarchy is bad, so they defend it. When this man says "we’re preparing all students to be successful" he means white Christian students in his particular area. That's part of his group.
