"Progressive" vouchers?

[Carl Remick]

I was surprised to see Robert Reich endorse school vouchers in a Wall Street 
Journal oped, "The Case for 'Progressive' Vouchers," Sept. 6.  As the title 
of his piece indicates, Reich supports a specific type of tuition credit, 
i.e., "'progressive' vouchers that are inversely related to the size of 
their family's income."  Perhaps I misconstrue what Reich advocates, but it 
seems to me this scheme would do the same thing plain-vanilla vouchers would 
do:  subvert the whole notion of public education as a democratic 
institution.  Am I mistaken?
