Bobby Jindal's alternative education universe

Valerie Strauss:

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, architect of a statewide voucher program that sends public money to religious schools which teach that humans and dinosaurs co-existed, ventured to the Brookings Institution in Washington to present his alternative education universe. Jindal, a rising figure in the Republican Party, spoke for more than an hour defending his voucher program -- which was declared unconstitutional by a Lousiana state judge who said it improperly diverts public state and local money to private institutions -- without actually mentioning the word "vouchers," instead using euphemisms such as "scholarships." Quite a feat.
