Will Holder sue the publishers for racial discrimination?
He's suing Mississippi for giving poor blacks school vouchers so they can get a real education.
He's doing the same ting in LA, unless this is the state you mean. http://www.postbulletin.com/news/na...cle_0aaf9957-8329-59e2-9547-230a4c4c5058.html
Maintain the all encompassing administrative state at all costs, fuck freedom, fuck states rights.
The idea is totally cynical, and Holder knows it and so does anybody who can actually think. The purpose of schools is to provide a quality education to those who want one, so that should be the primary consideration. In my opinion, it's the teachers' unions who oppose the idea, and they do because the private schools are nor always unionized. Holder claims school vouchers somehow upsets racial balances in schools. Even if they do, that is a trivial problem compared to the primary goal of schools.
In the normal course of things, families move from one school district to another, and this probably skews the racial balances in the schools affected more than the vouchers do.
ETA: Another reason just occurred to me. If poor children are actually able to get quality education, some of them may escape the Liberal plantation.
You'll find it's the majority of laws that prevent this from happening. Unions are against this but more importantly voters are against this for several reasons. It robs them of say in how their tax dollars are used, violates the separation of church and state and doesn't provide a better education.

First, what do you mean by "Majority of laws?" Second, how do you know voters are against this? They will still have the same amount of say in how their tax dollars are used, which is to say virtually none. However, they will have a great deal of say in how the voucher dollars are used. If they don't like one private school, they will go to another one. Since vouchers have been in some use for over a century, and there has never been a finding of violation of separation of church and state, it's unlikely one will be found now.
I don't know how you can determine what is a better education, but I will say this: I believe students in private schools are less likely to get mugged in rest rooms than those in public schools.
Different states have different laws. In Florida it is state law that the state must adequately fund public education. I also mentioned the separation of church & state.
Voters are against it because they have voted for laws that prevent it.
Taxpayers would have no say in how the money is spent. The public has control of the public schools. People vote on who is on the school board, their legislature, & their mayor. There is accountability They have control over the curriculum. None of that is true in a private school. You hand them your money & surrender all control.
I'd be very against people taking my tax dollars and using it to teach kids about a magical man who lives in the sky.
Keep in mind that student's who use vouchers to get into private schools wouldn't be getting into any good private schools. They wouldn't be able to afford it.
What about the kids still in public school?
You're free to believe whatever you like about public schools, even if it doesn't coincide with reality.

Last Friday, Christopher Lane, a 22-year-old Australian here on a baseball scholarship, was shot and killed while jogging in Duncan, Okla., population 23,000. He died where he fell.
Police have three suspects, two black and one white. The latter said they were bored and decided to shoot Lane for “the fun of it.”
As Lane was white and the shooter black, racism has surfaced as a motive. Thursday came reports that killing a white man may have been an initiation rite for the black teens in joining some offshoot of the Crips or Bloods.
What happened in Oklahoma and the reaction, or lack of reaction to it, tells us much about America in 2013, not much of it good.
Teenagers who can shoot and kill a man out of summertime boredom are moral barbarians, dead souls.
But who created these monsters? Where did they come from? Surely one explanation lies in the fact that the old conscience-forming and character-forming institutions — home, church, school, and a moral and healthy culture fortifying basic truths — have collapsed. And the community hardest hit is Black America.
If we go back to the end of World War II, 90 percent of black families consisted of a mother and father and children raised and disciplined by their parents. The churches to which these families went on Sundays were stronger. Black schools may have been largely segregated, but they were also the transmission belts of patriotism and traditional values rooted in biblical truths and a Christian faith.
Though such schools graduated hardworking, law-abiding and productive citizens, today they would be closed as unconstitutional.
Indeed, all of those character- and conscience-forming institutions of yesterday are in an advanced state of decline today.
Seventy-three percent of black kids are born to single moms. Black kids who make it to 12th grade may often be found reading at seventh-, eighth- or ninth-grade levels. In some cities the black dropout rate can hit as high as 50 percent.
Drugs are readily available. And among black males ages 18 to 29, in urban areas, often a third are in prison or jail, or on probation or parole, or walking around with a criminal record.
Where do the kids get their ideas of right and wrong, good and evil? In homes where the father is absent and the TV is always on. From radios tuned in to rap and hip-hop.
From films where Hollywood values prevail and the shooting never stops. From street gangs that sometimes form the only families these kids have ever known...
Since Lyndon Johnson took office, 50 years ago, we have spent trillions on his programs for health care, housing, education, food stamps, welfare and civil rights. Are we living in that Great Society we were promised?
In that same decade, we were told that the social, cultural and moral revolution bursting forth on the campuses would rid us of the repressive old-time morality and Old Time Religion, and lead to a more equal, just, humane and better America, a beacon to mankind.
Yet, are not the killers of Chris Lane who shot him for the fun of it the “do-your-own-thing!” children of that cultural revolution?...
