"By Any Means Neccessary!"...

...except school vouchers. Newark's government school system gets $17,000 / year per each kid in tax funding, with results that rank among the nation's worst, adding to the overwhelming proof that "lack of funding" cannot explain why so many government K-12 schools fail. The city's hip, young new mayor wants to address this problem via vouchers, proclaiming, "I'm the Malcolm X of education — 'By any means necessary'." However, political considerations block him from using the word "voucher."
