All I Want for Christmas is the OSP
A song made in 2009 about Washington, D.C’s Opportunity Scholarship program still applies today as anti-reformers try to block or find fault with school choice programs across the state, most recently in North Carolina and Louisiana.
All I want for Christmas is the OSP, the OSP for all like me.
Gee if I could only have the OSP, then I could wish you Merry Christmas.
It seems so long since I couldn’t read or do the math my old school said I couldn’t.
Now my teachers help me read and teach me math and writing, even English.
All I want for Christmas is my scholarship. A chance to be a brand new me.
It’s not fair that we can’t get a scholarship when Congress pays for kids to go to prison.
Why is it fine for the President to send his daughters to the nation’s finest?
Mom wants me to have the same, so I can be the first to finish college.
All I want for Christmas is the OSP, the OSP for all like me.
Gee if I could have this for the kids like me, I could wish you Merry Christmas!
