Another Setback For Universal Pre-K

Give Governor Mitt Romney some credit for bravery (or short-sightedness, depending on your view). He just stood up to the Pre-K mafia and vetoed a law that would have made preK universal in Masschusetts (Romney vetoes universal prekindergarten).

I'm not against preK, but I do have questions about implementation quality and concerns about how little scrutiny has been given to some of these programs.
