“The reason the TRSL (Teacher Retirement System of Louisiana) is underfunded is the same reason all public employee systems are underfunded. Insufficient employee contributions...”
Some of that may be true, but the hit on the fund came by the politicians raiding the fund. Look it up.
You also must not be aware of the communist Frankfurt School and how it took over education in the United States.
And when you finish looking that up, google and read the Humanist Manifesto (in conjunction with the Frankfurt School) whose main goal was/is to rid Christianity from the public schools.
These people have much bigger fish to fry than teachers unions.
Jindal never “raided” the TRSL. He did propose to increase employee contributions and increase the retirement age to bring it in line with what non-government employees receive.
The deadhead state employees and teacher unions pitched a fit and got it killed in the legislature.
He also got enacted a 401K type plan for future employees, but the state Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional.
Once Jindal took a shot at the state employees and teachers and missed, his fate was sealed. He never got a minute’s rest from the newspapers and the bloodsucker class.
Much as I hate to say it, Bel Edwards will be re-elected. I just don’t see Ralph Abraham generating Trump-like intensity to drive enough voters to the polls in October.
