WHY DOES THE NYT PUBLISH THIS BULLSHIT?

(h/t Maha)

Charles Murray finally decides to give up on relying on standardized test scores to justify the use of school vouchers but he's not ready to give up just yet. He falls back on this preposterous suggestion:
Let’s use the money we are already spending on education in a way that gives those parents the same kind of choice that wealthy people, liberal and conservative alike, exercise right now.

Ok, let's look at one of the schools that several of the Villagers send their children to: Sidwell Friends. The tuition for elementary grades is $29,842 and $30,842 for middle school and high school. Just how much are these vouchers worth?
