School Choice Comes to Louisiana

I know I've dumped on Jindal, but I like to give credit where it's due. Yesterday, the Louisiana Senate approved legislation that would set up a private school choice program in New Orleans for low-to middle-income students. This is small program, but it is an important step in a state that has long resisted private school choice. In fact, an amendment to extend the program nationwide was defeated 5-29. Jindal is expected to sign the bill.
