I gotta believe at some level it has to be better than the public school system (49 out of 51)?<br /><br />Thanks for the comment David I will do a bit more digging but if you have any specifics on Jindal let me know and I will post it. Or if you are so inclined you could guest post on this site. Always looking for contributors.<br /><br />Thanks again.Derek Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11458686376012366986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710959760445236480.post-61539871587425071482012-06-05T14:53:16.802-04:002012-06-05T14:53:16.802-04:00I live in Louisiana and would suggest that you do ...I live in Louisiana and would suggest that you do not get a love affair with Jindal.

I'm sure once they've plead their case the electorate will see the light. Right?<br /><br />Um, not bloody likely. Instead they have to resort to these strong arm tactics to keep the money machine going.Derek Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11458686376012366986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710959760445236480.post-15429068840135780752012-06-04T12:30:19.176-04:002012-06-04T12:30:19.176-04:00In Utah, the unions were able to get enough signat...In Utah, the unions were able to get enough signatures to call for a special election to overturn the state legislature's voucher bill. A truly massive NEA PR campaign followed culminating in a special election on an odd day.
