One must remeber that that when one talks about freedom of choice, it
assumes one has a choice. Many in society may not be able to choose a better
school for their kids, or heathcare for their family as the lack resourses

These are jokes:
New poll: One-third of voters crave "alternative" to government schools
Fatality fumble: Football kills as many students as school shootings
Police arrest more people for marijuana than murder, rape, and robbery combined
