The groups behind the lawsuit are stating that the new law is unconstitutional.

The Louisiana Federation of Teachers is challenging the state constitutionality of the private school vouchers measure and the teacher tenure reforms bill.

A massive protest on the capitol steps is planned for Wednesday.

The head of the Louisiana Federation of Teachers union is calling the proposal unconstitutional.

Governor Bobby Jindal continues to criticize the state's largest teachers' union, this time calling for the resignation of the group's executive director. At the center of the controversy are comments Louisiana Federation of Teachers Executive Director Steve Monaghan made in an interview with the New Orleans Times Picayune.
