Sometime after the chicken and roast vegetables but before cream covered berries in a cup made of chocolate, Rhode Scholar and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal began slamming the elites.
Jindal used his speech at the $50 per plate luncheon inside the five-star Mayflower Hotel (of Eliot Spitzer fame) to burnish his conservative credentials ahead of his possible 2016 and draw contrasts the GOP establishment.
And of course, given the audience, slam common core.
The lunch, sponsored by the American Principles Project, a right wing, anti-Common Core organization, was part of a day- long conference ending with a gala where tickets ranged from $300 for individuals to $15,000.00 for “Platinum Circle” donors.
“What happens when the U.S. history our children are taught is not the American exceptionalism that you and I were taught,” Jindal, Brown University graduate, asked. “But rather a history of our grievances?”
