Speaking of which, not only did she move to Louisiana for the low taxes, not only did she celebrate the military as a cornerstone of citizenship, not only did she smear MLK to boost Obama, and not only did she want to sic the Justice Department on the Tea Party for committing "sedition" - she wants her new center at Tulane to promote charter schools.

I want to hear from that 55-year-old Black woman who is a school leader fighting for charter schools. She has something to say but no platform to say it.”

Her ex, Dennis Lacewell, is the principal of the first charter HS in the country:
