A newly minted Louisiana non-profit, Liberty '64, headed by Dionne Butler, has created a series of event to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the July 2, 1964 signing of the Civil Rights Act that will take place over a nine-day period. "As an African-American and native New Orleanian, my family lived the civil rights movement," Butler said.  "When you grow up in a segregated society and watch downtrodden people come together for the remarkable accomplishment of passing such an important piece of legislation, you always remember it and want to celebrate it for the next generation," Butler said. The Liberty '64 event series includes:

Business, Education & Civic Groups Urge Governor Jindal, BESE to Stay with Common Core and Related Testing

6/16/2014

0 Comments

 
We represent a large segment of the business, education and civic communities of Louisana and we are today calling on Governor Jindal to act in the best interests of the children of the state and move forward with implementation of all aspects of Common Core. We are parents, grandparents,  aunts and uncles; we are educators and employers and engaged citizens; and we are voters and taxpayers who represent broad citizen support for the Common Core standards and appropriate tests for the betterment of both our children and our state.

Collectively we were shocked by the governor’s recent statements that despite the very strong affirmation of Common Core by both the Legislature and The Board of Elementary & Secondary Education coupled with widespread citizen support, he is now singlehandedly “committed to getting us out of…Common Core.”  

We believe this action would constitute executive overreach that violates every aspect of the spirit of the democratic process. It would suggest that the state should be governed not by the bodies that constitutionally enact education laws and policies, but by the unilateral use of the executive pen.  

Certainly, every governor has been invested with some degree of executive authority, but it should only be used as state law clearly states, “to see that the laws are faithfully executed.” It was not created to make end runs to void the policies of established constitutional bodies. In the face of any executive overreach with a pen, we ask BESE to stay firm and continue to implement Common Core standards and related tests.
