The Louisiana State Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to fund vouchers using money dedicated to public schools. The court split 6-1. The decision removes funding not only for vouchers but for “course choice,” which was supposed to fund courses offered by entrepreneurs–many of them online– outside the public schools.

I’ve always felt that the courts would come to our rescue. The Great American Public School Fraud cannot be allowed to continue.
Vote was 6-1.
YES! Thank you Jesus. This is another nail in the coffin of John White and Bobby Jindal. Of course he is going to try to find another way to stick it to us. Public schools are public schools. Religious schools are for the purpose of teaching religion with education as the incentive. Almost ALL the schools that gave vouchers are religious in nature.
Now for the legalized teacher abuse law. What is going to happen there?
John White’s response to today’s Supreme Court ruling. He wins for spin!
