Louisiana was reported to have one of the best working and successful voucher systems in the country. Obama and Holder would prefer to keep the students under-performing, illiterate and future wards of the State. Then they will be permanent Obama, and his successor's, ill-informed clients and voters. It is all sinister and ruthless. This is the world of the Community Organizers. They were once called Stalinist Agitators and Instigators. They are still just plain trouble makers and liars. m/r
U.S. government sues to block vouchers in some Louisiana school systems | NOLA.com

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 federal government says.
Thirty-four school systems could be affected, including those of Jefferson, Plaquemines, St. John the Baptist and St. Tammany parishes. Under the lawsuit, the state would be barred from assigning students in those systems to private schools unless a federal judge agreed to it. A court hearing is tentatively set for Sept. 19.
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.
Last year, at least 570 students were affected; the program has expanded since then. The federal petition would require the state to analyze this year's vouchers to see how they affected school desegregation. (Read the petition.)
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. [Note that the student's are not considered.]
