issues that they want; they pick  issues that will destroy the  coalitions that
support a whole range of policies  they oppose.   Conservatives don't  just
like school vouchers ideologically--   they see it as a wedge issue to  divide
Catholics and inner-city blacks from  the public school unions.

voucher group, BAEO,  that attacks Sandra Feldman of the AFT.

Report Reveals Right- Wing Backers of BAEO
Over the past nine months, millions of Americans have seen lavishly produced TV 
ads featuring African- American parents talking about school vouchers. These 
ads and their sponsor, the Black Alliance for Educational Options (BAEO), 
portray vouchers as an effort to help low- income kids. But a new report 
explores the money trail behind BAEO, revealing a trail that leads directly to 
a handful of wealthy right-wing foundations and individuals that have a deeper 
agenda.
