Seattle Schools Community Forum: Education in Louisiana

Seattle Schools Community Forum: Education in Louisiana:


Education in Louisiana

You did hear about Louisiana, right?   After Katrina, New Orleans is virtually a charter district. 

And, pushed by Governor Bobby Jindal (and maybe next VP), a bill was pushed through that gives voucher money to parents to choose where their education dollars go for their child.  This includes religious schools.   Here's some interesting outcomes so far:

- many private schools - the good ones - are restricting the number of space to those parents who have vouchers dollars. 
- some of the textbooks used by Christian schools have some truly terrible teaching like:

- Science Proves Homosexuality is a Learned Behavior
- The Second Law of Thermodynamics Disproves Evolution
- No Transitional Fossils Exist
