Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) on Wednesday criticized actor Matt Damon, a vocal public-school advocate, for sending his children to private school.

In a weekend interview with The Guardian, Damon, who recently relocated his family from New York to Los Angeles, said the L.A. public school system didn’t offer the kind of “progressive education” he wanted for his kids.

“Sending our kids in my family to private school was a big, big, big deal,” he said. “And it was a giant family discussion. But it was a circular conversation, really, because ultimately we don't have a choice. I mean, I pay for a private education and I'm trying to get the one that most matches the public education that I had, but that kind of progressive education no longer exists in the public system. It's unfair."

No fan of Jeb Bush, but he nails it right on. Matt Damon is a hypocrite, like leftists are.

Bullshit.  If anything schools are far more progressive than when Damon attended.  However, they are also more dangerous and less effective because of that progressivism.

It's the old, "My kids are better than your kids thing."
