Fed up with his options, Williams joined two other Atlanta parents in filing a lawsuit Thursday in Fulton County Superior Court, asking that the state's education system be declared unconstitutional. The parents seek fundamental changes that would greatly increase their educational choices. The suit suggests several ways to accomplish this, including new attendance rules allowing parents to send their children to any public school, no matter where they live. It also proposes that parents be allowed to use tax money to help pay private school tuition, though the hot-button word "vouchers" is never mentioned. The parents also suggest the virtual elimination of regulations that have limited the number of charter schools.
