Since former Governor Bobby Jindal took control of the state education department in Louisiana, there have been numerous battles over access to public information.
The state superintendent appointed by Jindal, ex-TFA Broadie John White, has just made plain that public information is not public.
Mercedes Schneider reports that White has sued a citizen who made the mistake of seeking information from the state education department. Apparently John White doesn’t realize that he works for the public and is paid by the public.
As she says, this is a new low.

Lordy, Diane, there is no shame among those people who make ti to the top.
These are dangerous times where information is concerned.
Snowden’s case shows the reality. He blew the whistle on what the oligarchs are doing.
This is scary!

Only people like Hitler, Mussolini, Putin, and Castro would try to pull a stunt like this.

Uh. I don’t know. I’ve seen this hypocrite in action. He gets on the highest horse imaginable, lances everyone from that position, and then turns around and behaves like a sleazy corporate flunky.
