In Louisiana, President Obama, Eric Holder, and the Department of Justice are suing to stop Louisiana’s charter school system that is primarily aimed at lifting poor minority students out of poverty. Sadly, the “gainful employment” mess mirrors the Obama administrations actions in Louisiana. Last year, Attorney General Eric Holder filed a federal lawsuit seeking to impede our states innovative school choice program. Despite the fact that minority students comprise the overwhelming majority of school choice voucher recipients, Holder and the Justice Department cited federal civil rights laws and cases in seeking to block the voucher program. My administration has fought those efforts because we dont believe Washington regulations should deny low-income and African-American students the quality education they will need to succeed in life.
