10. DU?

DU is a mix of left-of-center, centrist, conservative, and corporate Democrats. Fewer of the first, more of the rest, than there used to be.

DU is unlikely to be united on the topic of vouchers or any other privatization tool. Democrats used to be, but no longer.

Vouchers use public funds for private, un-regulated schools. That's unacceptable, and SHOULD be unconstitutional.


This left-of-center liberal doesn't support privatization. I can't speak for the rest of DU.
