(Gov. Bobby Jindal shakes hands at a pro-voucher rally on the Capitol steps on Wednesday, May 15, 2013. On Aug. 22, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a petition to limit automatic participation in vouchers for districts operating under desegregation orders.)
The U.S. Justice Department is suing Louisiana in New Orleans federal court to block 2014-15 vouchers for students in public school systems that are under federal desegregation orders. The first year of private school vouchers "impeded the desegregation process," ...

The statewide voucher program, officially called the Louisiana Scholarship Program, lets low-income students in public schools graded C, D or F attend private schools at taxpayer expense. This year, 22 of the 34 systems under desegregation orders are sending some students to private schools on vouchers.

The Justice Department's primary argument is that letting students leave for vouchered private schools can disrupt the racial balance in public school systems that desegregation orders are meant to protect. Those orders almost always set rules for student transfers with the school system.

State Education Superintendent John White took issue with the suit's primary argument and its characterization of the program. Almost all the students using vouchers are black, he said. Given that framework, "it's a little ridiculous" to argue that students' departure to voucher schools makes their home school systems less white, he said. He also thought it ironic that rules set up to combat racism were being called on to keep black students in failing schools.

The case has been assigned to Judge Ivan Lemelle. He ruled in November that elements of Jindal's 2012 education overhaul were unconstitutional, because paying to implement the voucher program would hurt Tangipahoa Parish's ability to pay for the programs it uses to comply with its federal desegregation order.

Gotta force hardworking white kids into the cages with the feral gang banger Treyvon crowd to make the "community" feel better about itself, doncha know.
If conservatives are looking for a culture-changing legislative battle that is WINNABLE, this is it.
And to hell with the Justice Department and their communist schools.
WHEN....WHEN are Blacks going to WAKE UP and see how the Democrats have kept them on their STUPID PLANTATION!!!
If they EVER wised up, there would be Blood in the Streets....but alas, I think they might be too far gone.
Vouchers. The big stick left layin on the ground. The stick which could be used to beat the evil progressive agenda to death. The stick that UNITES ev.er.y.body.
And no one picks it up.
I have no idea why.
Preserving the teachers’ unions stranglehold on education is way more important to liberals than children. Unions win every time and they don’t want have a voucher system which shows how inept many of the teachers are.
AND here is the real agenda - ONE WORLD EDUCATION
Common Core – The Qatar Connection: A Wahhabi State Skypes With Your Children – Connect All Schools

From article:
The acronyms for America’s New World Order education are mind-numbing – all the better to keep you from connecting who is connected to who/whom/which. First, I have found one source that connects Common Core Initiative Standards (CCIS) to “Connect All Schools,” and that is on the “Connect All Schools” website page titled One World Education (OWE).

The Federal Takeover of Education

Until the courts got involved, schools were ran and financed locally. We would not need vouchers if control of the schools would be returned to local control (and elimination of teacher unions).
If locals controlled the curriculum perhaps they would go back to the basic and leave out social engineering.
Long past time to destroy the DOE as well as most of the other agencies of the bankrupt socialist central government.
Stupidity has been so instilled into America’s negroes by their Democrat masters that they are lost, perhaps forevermore.
Only a very small percentage move off the plantation which is not enough to help pull the rest out. Meanwhile, negro youth have descended into base instincts that have lain dormant in their genes for eons.
Blood sport and kill. Historically it has been each other, but today: preferably anyone who is shades lighter in skin color than they are. Drugs are fed into their ghettos by those who know full well they are lighting the fuse.
Meanwhile, the fool(s) that uttered those words “Diversity is America’s greatest strength” needs to be boiled in his own oil.
Meanwhile, your federal tax dollars are paying for the most expensive of private schools for the Obama darlings. No problem with that over at the “Justice” Department, I suppose.
