THE WATCH
US SENATOR JOHN KENNEDY, GOV-ELECT JEFF LANDRY, AND KEY LEGISLATORS DENOUNCE EDUCATION SWAMP LEADERS ON RULE CHANGES TO DESTROY LOUISIANA’S GRADUATION STANDARDS
The Louisiana House Education Committee held a rare oversight hearing today to consider a rule change championed by education swamp leaders to give graduation diplomas to high school students—even if they failed the required graduation exit exam. After nearly five hours of public testimony from outraged state leaders, parents, teachers, and policy experts, the committee voted 8-3 to overturn it.
