Brad Warthen, Enemy of the Downtrodden

During the initiation of the rescue efforts following Hurricane Katrina, there were confirmed reports of snipers and looters shooting at law enforcement and rescue workers. Thankfully, order has been restored.

Today, the rescue efforts have reached a point where they somewhat less immediately urgent--but somewhat more important for the long-term survival and recovery of New Orleans. One of the first jobs is getting children the education they need almost as badly as anything else.

So why is editorial sniper Brad Warthen shooting at the plan to help the children of the Gulf Coast by allowing their families to get their kids back into school? Why does Warthen hate freedom of choice so much that he's willing to sacrifice children's welfare to make sure it doesn't happen?

Is protecting a bureaucracy really more important than getting kids back into a secure, functioning learning environment?

Only to a moral idiot like Brad Warthen.
