An organization representing Louisiana parents shouldn't be allowed to intervene in a federal lawsuit against the state's school voucher program, the Department of Justice said in a response to a motion requesting legal intervention. The Louisiana chapter of the Black Alliance for Educational Opportunities, a group of parents who seek to improve educational opportunities for disadvantaged students, filed a motion to intervene in the DOJ's lawsuit against Louisiana's school voucher program, which the Obama administration says violates a Carter-era desegregation court order.
The DOJ response says the organization's application does not satisfy criteria for a right to intervene and does not meet the burden for permissive intervention. Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal has responded in a statement.
"The Obama Administration wants to deny a voice to the very people who will be harmed by this ridiculous lawsuit. In an offensively worded motion, the U.S. Department of Justice is trying to muzzle parents who simply want to express an opinion about why their children should have the opportunity to escape failing schools," said Jindal in a statement.

Wake the hell up, people. Obama is an evil unamerican ass. He must be removed from office. Impeach the cancer.
DOJ always uses that false excuse. And to put Carter up as an excuse just shows you how phony it is.
As they try to tighten the fabric of government, it is fraying on the edges.
