But liberals like you traditionally oppose such vouchers as do not allow said choice in where a parent can send their child to get the best possible education.

I like the idea of vouchers. In fact, I would like to see a big change to a more market based educational system. I see the possibility of many, many private schools that cost maybe $3-$4k per year (as opposed to $10k like many are now - there are too few private schools)... Not super-fancy - no sports. Just following a college-prep curriculum. It would be great - all those parents are definitely invested in their children's education.

I'm a libertarian and HATE vouchers with a passion. Sorry, but they suck.
