I can’t find much either but judging by the years he served I’m imagining he was the one who forced the bussing.

He destroyed neighborhood schools. Bussed kids all over town in arbitrary and changing rules.
It made it meaningless to say a house was in a good school district.
But worst of all, it broke up kids growing up together, doing the same homework, having the same teachers, playing on the same sports teams and creating strong neighborhood pride and lifelong friendships.
Private schools popped up in response and further broke the bonds of kids knowing their neighbors.
Parents had no incentive to support the neighborhood school or go across town to be a presence at their kid’s school as often and nobody cared anymore.
It killed the city.

i can't find anything on the Google about the judge and what he did to ruin Baton Rouge care to enlighten me?
BR schools were segregated like every other school system in the south, essentially via neighborhood schools, etc. Then the feds passed all the deseg orders and Judge John Parker, a federally appointed piece of shite, decided to mandate all neighborhood schools desegregate via forced bussing. Almost overnight, kids who lived in Broadmoor were shipped to Belaire, kids at Capitol were shipped to Woodlawn, etc. Plus kids were sent to bus exchanges and it was taking an hour+ to get anywhere they needed to go.
It basically created the private Catholic school renaissance here, decimated and destroyed the public school system into complete shite, and that was that.
