I'd Like to Know More About Kerry's Position on School Vouchers
from the Kerry site:

Oppose Vouchers - Improve Public Schools and Promote Public School Choice
John Kerry opposes private school vouchers that will drain scarce funds from public schools. Instead, he supports efforts to increase resources to public schools to ensure all students have quality teachers, high standards, smaller classes, and safe, modern schools. Kerry also would expand public school choice programs and support for pilot schools to empower parents and students and provide more options to fill specific needs without draining funds from public education.


I find his hedging on the issue to be of some concern.

"John Kerry opposes private school vouchers that will drain scarce funds from public schools."

What types of vouchers would Kerry approve of?

1. i think this basically is saying
kerry opposes private school vouchers because they will drain funds from public schools. In the context you are reading it under the rest of his statement makes no sense so i feel my reading is more accurate. I could be wrong. You should email your question to his campaign and ask them to clarify the point though. They have been pretty responsive on this kind of stuff.
