I can't ban anything, but I have enough money to move where I don't have to pay the garbage truck to deliver trash to my door every day.
I moved here because I loved BR, Katrina turned it into what I left. I have no need for tattoos, soothsayers, half-way houses and I'd like to go to sleep knowing that if I forgot to lock my car it won't be pilfered.

Mall of Louisiana
My retail business has been robbed twice, my home has been robbed twice, I live in the Sherwood-Coursey area that now has fortune tellers and tattoo parlors, Kip's people moving in, I'm moving out.
From personal dealings the BR Police are trained morons, Sid Gautreaux the EBR sheriff is incompetent to handle the day to day handling or writs and seizures, Elmer Litchfield please come back.
I will sell all my holding in EBR, hopefully by year end.
Where are you running to now? LP? AP?
You think the Amite River will save you? Maybe Tanger outlet mall will make you safe?
Unless you're leaving this state and region, you're going to face this. Might as well control where the battle is fought and that it's worth fighting for. Otherwise, you'll keep running. Just keep the wheels on your house.

Has anyone asked the St George leaders what they plan to do about these blasphemous fortune tellers that are ruining our community?
Also, who will pay for the trash delivery "service"?

We will maintain a home in this area, not in the PRBR (People's Republic of Baton Rouge),, but live in an area where I can forget to lock my car up occasionally.
If others desire to pay for services they cannot use, to politicians they cannot stomach, to support schools incapable of teaching which have become Hadassahs of Liberalism, you can have my place.

Which services? You mentioned paying to have trash brought to your door every day. I think you may have angered a contractor.

Name some specific differences in school policies and curriculum between EBR schools and the school system you desire.

He could start with wanting an administration that had integrity, didn't fix grades, backed teachers by maintaining discipline in the classroom, and only graduated those that earned their diplomas.
But hey who cares, if your kid gets into a gifted or magnet program then it really doesn't matter, right ?

I some of are incapable of seeing what BR has become in the last 9 years you are bling and dumb. It actually began long ago with Judge Parker's deseg order, exactly how much desegregation did you get for all ll that money and misery John Boy? That started the movement away from EBR, then Katrina washed wave after wave of the unemployables moving here.
If you want to get an idea of what the problem is, wait until September that's when every EBR public school has their parent nights. Go see which parents show up and which don't show up.
The St. George petition started because the people in SE BR didn't want to share a school system with people who largely don't give a rat's arse and it shows. This is undeniable, you can call people racist for pointing it out, but it is a fact.

EBR doesn't have a policy against fixing grades? EBR has a different policy regarding discipline than Ascension, Central, etc?
You honestly think that if other school districts (namely the RSD) were under such scrutiny that they wouldn't find discrepancies there, also? Of course, there's no defending any wrong doings by EBR's school system. Those idiots should have been on their best behavior once they realized that the state was going to be gunning for them but there's no stopping the arrogance and stupidity of the DeeDee Slaughters of the world.

I'm just echoing what the two major news stations in town reported was going on in the EBR School System. Nothing more.
Defend the status quo, tell me about policy, tell me who else is cheating too; however, none of that changes what is reported to be going on does it?

I believe it started because a political faction who used to control the purse strings of EBR wanted to stage a money grab and they used the reasons you mentioned as a way to motivate a grass roots campaign.
I agree with the sentiment though. Deseg was terrible, but deseg has ended in EBR and the schools are returning to "neighborhood schools" except for charters coming in and throwing them off. School choice will contradict neighborhood schools but I digress. You've made my point in that its the students/parents that are at fault - not so much the government. If you move to a different area that has better schools it will likely have the same policies and curricula but will have better students/demographics.
The break-away efforts to create a new school system probably would have had a net positive impact on the schools in SEBR but the incorporation effort for a city of St George has done long-term harm to the EBR school system which supposedly they care about.
There's angles to this.

It's all about the schools for me.
The govt. As you put it told SG people they needed to be a city to get their school district. They made the mistake of listening to these people when they shouldn't have.
These good people were no more after a money grab than Obana is for cutting taxes. They fought in the legislature for two solid years for one thing, an ISD. Now they are in the streets doing what they were advised to do incorporate.
You might call them fools for doing all this , but the last thing the organization is greedy .

1. Main issue: By creating a divisive "us vs. them" campaign that helps form a city but ensures that a break-away district will never happen. If an ISD was the end goal then they sure screwed themselves. The way they've gone about things has guaranteed that they will NEVER get the parish-wide vote needed for an ISD.
2. Leaders of EBR school system are going to be hesitant to take on any debt in order to invest on infrastructure in unincorporated areas because they will be paranoid that SG will just take it and run away. (I don't support this behavior but you know that's what will happen.)
3. When the SG ISD is officially dead, it will be bad/harmful publicity for improving schools in SEBR that have a lot of potential now that deseg is dead. If it weren't for the SG debacle, there would probably have been more confidence in the outlook of schools in SEBR - relative to demographic composition of the area.

EBR schools is ranked 48th in a state that's ranked what, around 48th.
Think about that, and read some of the nonsense and excuses given to the school administration here and now you see people blaming SG as if it's all their fault we are near ricj bottom.
The fact is there is not any accountability. And honestly most long time Baton Rougeans have just given up after the last decade of increasing taxes to schools and seeing the money do little good.
But like I said before, if little Johnny gets in a gifted or magnet program who cares about the other kids who do not?

I'm all for vouchers, but you're talking about a liberal indoctrination happening all over this country in public education, and I'd agree, but it doesn't matter where you go, you will pay for it. The more that are sent to private schools the better we're all served. Don't contribute to their delinquency. The private sector trumps the public in everything. This is no great surprise.
