"Strong to the finish".

Popeye's message, "I'm strong to the finish cause I eats me spinich" could be the rallying call for all as the clock on the Louisiana Legislative session, version 2013, moves onward to a close.

The Louisiana Supreme Court, in a substantial 6-1 majority, gave an “F” to Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal’s nationally-touted education reform, forcing the governor and charter school supporters to go back to the blackboard and start the reform funding process over, once again.

Perhaps Gov. Bobby Jindal has bitten off more than he could chew. Or maybe people have assumed the wrong agenda for him all along.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, who has touted his education reforms nationally, might need to re-educate the public, the legislature and perhaps even the judicial system as a Baton Rouge judge dismissed Gov.

The legislation had been touted by Jindal and others as a way to transform not just Louisiana education but American education.  As a result, and because Jindal has been pegged to be one of the future republican leaders, the setback at the hands of the Court has sent ripples throughout the local and national media.  Here is a sample as to what has been recently written about the legislation and the Court ruling.

"The Louisiana Democratic Party calls for an immediate halt to Governor Jindal's unconstitutional voucher program in the face of this ruling, and a return of all funding and students to local public school districts,"

BATON ROUGE – Governor Bobby Jindal issued the following statement today regarding a court’s ruling on the Louisiana Scholarship Program:
