"We Love Teachers," My Ass

Take a look at the mess in Louisiana, and see if teachers, students, or even education is valued. None are: It's all about the buck and possibly a return to outright segregation of schools.

Where in the HELL are the lawsuits stopping this shit?

You can blame Obama and Duncan, two FRAUDS calling themselves "Democrats," who have singlehandedly accelerated the destruction of democracy in this country by going after the key cornerstone of it, and that is public education. Call me Tea Party, I don't care, but this is nothing short of treason.

This insane ideology which says the public good must be converted to private profit MUST stop or we will have NO country left.

The same dirtbag billionaires are trying to pick apart what is left of public education in Louisiana:

Besides the efficacy of drone warfare, one of the most common areas of bipartisan agreement in Washington—and in state capitals across the nation—is that our public school system is broken, and the way to fix it is by ridding schools of costly hold-downs such as teacher tenure, seniority pay, training for professional development and traditional brick-and-mortar school buildings. These “reformers” push charter schools, punishment for failing schools and teachers and “school choice” in the form of vouchers for private, parochial and charter schools.

Nowhere has the school reform debate raged more passionately in recent months than in Louisiana, where earlier this year Jindal and his allies rammed two bills through the Louisiana legislature that drastically reduce local control of schools and teacher tenure. The bills, which went into effect in July and August, also dramatically increase the number of charter schools—both brick-and-mortar and virtual charters (despite the fact that the FBI is currently investigating an epidemic of online charter school fraud in Pennsylvania)—and potentially 380,000 new vouchers for low- and middle-income children in poor-performing schools around the state, which would create by far the nation’s largest voucher program. The vouchers can be used at 120 schools in the state, some of them parochial, some of them secular, some of them for-profit, some of them nonprofit—almost all of them private.
