Jindal's education-reform program for Louisiana, which I wrote about for NRO
last year, is one of the nation's most comprehensive efforts to offer
parents the greatest choice possible in their children's education. It will
extend vouchers for private and religious schools to hundreds of thousands
of Louisiana students who attend poor-quality schools .

.

Haynes's group, the Louisiana Association of Educators, is well aware that
that such a sweeping measure will be harmful to its interests, since it
would lead to a significant number of students' leaving the state's public
schools (a shift that already occurred, into charter schools, in New Orleans
after Hurricane Katrina) - and the radically left-wing notion that children
belong to an entire community as much as they do their own parents (this is,
of course, not the first time teachers' unions paid more attention to
far-left ideas and interests than the parents and children they are employed
to serve).
