A “Moral Imperative” To Improve Ed

Jindal says education overhaul is a 'moral imperative'

Gov. Bobby Jindal opened the first legislative session of his second term Monday afternoon, telling a newly elected Legislature that his effort to remake primary and secondary education in Louisiana is a moral issue. "The moral imperative to improve education is more than an economic one," Jindal told a joint session of the House and Senate. "The moral imperative to improve education goes to the heart of the American Dream."
