.”Jindal to DOJ: Drop Lawsuit Against School Voucher Program
![]()
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R.) said the Justice Department (DOJ) “must stand down” from its lawsuit that attempts to block his state’s school voucher program, which allows students to flee failing schools.
On Aug. 24 the DOJ filed a petition in federal court to obtain a permanent injunction against the Louisiana Scholarship Program, blocking access to vouchers in districts that are under desegregation orders beginning in 2014 unless a judge approves them.
Jindal called the lawsuit “cynical, immoral, and hypocritical.”
“Nearly 50 years to the day of Martin Luther King’s famous ‘I have a dream’ speech, the Department of Justice under the Obama administration filed what I think is a despicable lawsuit,” he said at the National Press Club on Wednesday. “They went to federal court in Louisiana to try to trap thousands of children in failing schools.”
“The president and the Attorney General need to drop this lawsuit,” Jindal said. “At the very least they need to come to Louisiana and meet face to face with these moms and dads and their kids and explain to them why the Obama administration, why this Department of Justice don’t think that these children deserve a great education
