An editorial in today’s Wall Street Journal says Newt Gingrich’s call for the United States to return to the moon has nothing on the challenge facing Gov. Bobby Jindal as he pushes his plan to reform Louisiana’s schools. “Mr. Jindal wants to create America’s largest school voucher program, broadest parental choice system, and toughest teacher accountability regime—all in one legislative session,” the editorial reads. “Any one of those would be a big win, but all three could make the state the first to effectively dismantle a public education monopoly. … Louisiana used to be one of America’s most ill-governed states, but Mr. Jindal pushed major economic and ethics reforms in his first term and is now starting his second with his education moon shot. It would be one giant leap for Louisiana students.” Check out the full editorial here (subscription is required).
