Ethics gold standard

One of Jindal's BESE reformers doesn't quite pass.

The proposed opinion, which the ethics board will consider in July, says (Kira) Jones isn’t allowed to work as local director of Teach for America and serve as a state board member. That’s because the state education board approved a near $1 million contract with Teach For America last year – and they’re likely to approve a similar one this fall.
This might qualify as a "whoopsie" if Jones hadn't been promoted by Team Jindal specifically because she represented TFA.

Update: Meanwhile Jindal has another legislative critic stripped of committee assignments.
