Louisiana's exciting experiment in public-school vouchers is steaming forward, providing parents and children with educational excellence and traditional values, hooray!
I'm officially snarkless. The whole fucking state is morally bankrupt -- it needs to be put under Federal supervision, like one of those financially-bankrupt cities, before it turns into an all-out theocracy. This is what the GOP has in mind for the whole U.S. of fucking A., and the Bush-appointed assholes on the Supreme Court would gladly let it happen.
Assuming that the state has some number of normal adults left, with full complements of brain cells and teeth, there ought to be growing demand for actually-good private schooling.
Although you might not be able to get those sweet state munniez -- any school that proposes to teach actual-factual science things, like evolution, might run into the same not-jeebusy-enough objections as that would-be Islamic school did.
"Louisiana public school" is something of a joke. I believe that state doesn't have a property tax. The white kids all go to private schools, so why should people support public ones?
I wonder what the result would be if someone opened a madrassa and applied for some of that state money?
I would go to the great state of where True Blood is and start a scam religious charter school and get rich off of the sweet, sweet voucher money too, except that I'm an atheist and I have a shred of dignity (just enough to keep me poor - Canadian poor, not American poor, so I'll be fine but thanks anyway for worrying) and I'm afraid of Americans.

I'm a lawyer, and for the life of me I can't see how this comes close to being Constitutional.

It's a good thing for the GOP that he doesn't.
In Louisiana, home schooling must be looking pretty attractive right now to the state's dwindling population of normal, intelligent people.

Looks like Jebus has an enormous boner, so yeah.
These fuckwads do it all by themselves -- I just show up and collect.
Strange. You'd think Bob Jones and Liberty would be falling over themselves to recruit students of this caliber...
Yeah, it's not his fault at all, seeing how he doesn't exist 'n stuff.
Hahahahahahahaha sex ed? hhahahahahahahahah!!! you're a funny one.
At first I misread that as "good Christen based meth"
She developed very strong wrists, however.
So you can guarantee they will be serving green slop for lunch.
Good point. Poor Mrs. Christ.
