In 2012, Governor Bobby Jindal rammed through the legislature his compleat program of privatization of public schools and dismantling the teaching profession.
But things have not gone well since then because of the judiciary.
The funding if the voucher program was held unconstitutional and so was the act that outraged teachers.
The latter was overturned a second time.
The courts continue to be the guardians of due process. They have a habit of sticking to the state and federal constitutions.

I wish that were true in Wisconsin. Our Supreme Court is in the pocket of Scott Walker.
I wish that had been the case in FL. In FL, the court ruled that the state could take away the mandatory COL increases in the pension, both for new employees and even for those who were vested in the system. It was already the worst gov’t retirement program in the south before these new measures Rick Scott pushed through. Not to mention the lie they got away with when the 3% pension contribution was put into the general fund, thereby creating a 3% state income tax only paid for by state employees (no income tax for the rich, or anyone for that matter who isn’t state-employed in FL).
Just another nail in the middle class coffin…
I’m happy it was declared invalid.
A new word for U, die process? Is every issue one of due process, Diane?

What do you have against due process?
Dienne, Mr. Danz is a member of the North Carolina Tea Party. He is against everything that he doesn’t personally benefit from. Best to ignore him. He doesn’t discuss or respond. Just drive-by insults to Diane. Why he opposed teachers being given a fair hearing and the chance to defend himself is probably rooted in his mistrust of everyone who isn’t him.
If I may answer for Diane to save her a little of her valuable time: NO!
