Jindal should proceed full-tilt with the progam and commit totally, financially. When the case comes to court in October, he can then claim irreparable financial harm to parents and students and the state if this progam is denied by the courts. Put some committed money in parents’ pockets and count on them to protest loudly if it is taken away.

Good news!

No reason why money (3 to 4 x what private schools charge) should go to failing public schools.

Vouchers are the way to go. Introduce competition into the education marketplace.

Simply burning dollar bills would do more good than letting even a penny go to a teaching union.

Remember, when you absolutely, postively, undoubtedly cannot cut the mustard in college in any other course, you can always major in “education.” If the Obamadork’s mentor (and book writer)- Ayers - can get a doctorate in this silly subject, that says it all.

A properly educated populace is the worst enemy of the Left.

OK, to play devil's advocate: what is Jindal's plan for the public school system when all of the children with parents actively engaged in their childrens' education exercise their vouchers and the public school system is left with the remainder?

It's not a trick question. A logical outcome of a voucher program is that the public school system becomes a remedial academy of sorts. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as the problem becomes too stark to ignore. It is the inverse of NCLB-meets-inclusion where every classroom becomes a one-size-fits-all environment and everybody loses. The hurdle to be faced is that public school classrooms will be 92.4% minority, 96.2% poor, and the race pimps and their ilk will have a major cow.
