Quotation from Zelman v. Simmons-Harris by Supreme Court of the United States
“While the romanticized ideal of universal public education resonates with the cognoscenti who oppose vouchers, poor urban families just want the best education for their children, who will certainly need it to function in our high-tech and advanced society.”
Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, Concurrence of Justice Thomas (excerpt) (U.S. Reports text (Wikisource))
Justice Thomas contrasts critics of vouchers with the families the program was designed to serve.
