In case you needed another reminder that Louisiana is not Wisconsin

In Louisiana, initiatives like this aren't likely to go very far.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Gov. Bobby Jindal and House Speaker Chuck Kleckley have become targets of recall efforts as a result of Jindal's proposals to revamp public education.

Calcasieu Parish teacher Angie Bonvillain is one of five teachers who started the recall effort. She described herself to The Advocate as "fed up." She said no one was listening to teachers, who she said know more about what's needed to improve public education than Jindal and others fast-tracking the changes through the Legislature.

"When they would not listen, after repeated e-mails and phone calls, we became frustrated, especially when we're the ones who voted them into the office they presently hold," Bonvillain said.


Sure, sure, have fun storming the castle, kids.
