Maintaining the Plantation

Holder's Mustache               

The Holder-Jindal Collision
The federal government attacks Louisiana school choice.


Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal found out late on Friday, August 23. Attorney General Eric Holder was suing to block the state’s school voucher program, which aims to give low-income kids in terrible schools the opportunity to attend better public schools and even private schools. The Justice Department claims the two-year-old program could interfere with federal desegregation orders in several Louisiana parishes, holdovers from the Civil Rights era.

Maybe it shouldn’t have been. Liberals have been fighting the Louisiana voucher initiative, officially called a “scholarship” program, from the beginning.


“The teacher unions took us all the way to the state supreme court, and the program’s still here,” says Jindal. In May, the court ruled the voucher program was constitutional but that funding it through the general education budget wasn’t. Jindal and the legislature made it a line item in the state budget instead.
Many in the education establishment in Louisiana—Jindal calls them the “coalition of the status quo”—protested the voucher program and other education reforms like charter school expansion and tenure reform. Some even hoped to recall him, the Republican speaker of the house, and other legislators, but the movement went nowhere.

He mighten not have been shocked had he'd read  the Pajama Media article about the Republican Party surreptitiously  working to re-impose it.  Hell, even without that, who's shocked by anything Eric Holder does anymore?

Jim Crow Part II. The Man keeps bringing down the children of single black mothers.

Where's the NAACP when you really need them?

Somebody still thinks that throwing money at the Black problem is going to fix things for them. The schools are terrible because the kids are terrible. Fix that Jindal you RHINO assshat.

The main reason black kids do badly in public schools is the public schools themselves. Public schools, particularly in the inner city, are crap factories whose purpose is to protect the union.

Put black kids in schools where the bad actors are quickly expelled and high performance standards are set and they learn. Of course, to make this happen, we would need to break the Union-Government stranglehold over education.

That is what Jindal is trying to do and God bless him.

Of course, Comrade Barky does not give two shits about black children. All he cares about are his contributors in the NEA and AFT and other criminal communist front groups.
