BESE Abdicates Constitutional Authority to PARCC, PEARSON and U.S.ED
Chas, you continue to say "This is a question of who has authority to write the questions for our test." You are absolutely correct and it is absolutely clear that PEARSON has been given the authority to write the questions by virtue of Louisiana's MOU and commitment to PARCC. BESE has abdicated its authority and THIS is unconstitutional!
BESE members MUST admit they have been bamboozled by John White and turn this thing around. Your reputations are at stake.

Baton Rouge -- (Press Release) The Jindal Administration has filed a lawsuit to invalidate the Memorandum of Understanding with Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers.
The filing challenges the MOU on the basis that it offends state sovereignty by attempting to improperly delegate the constitutional authority of BESE and the Legislature to a “consortium” of other states.
The non-delegation doctrine is recognized in both federal and state law and is based on the principle that certain powers authorized to the state cannot be delegated to other public or non-public entities.
