State Sen Gerald Boudreaux (D) Lafayette

"until Louisiana makes education a real priority, crime will continue to be a real problem"

So, if we just pour more money into schools, the crime will subside? Wow, I never realized newer computers, desks, fresh paint jobs, and more teachers could have this effect.

Congratulations Sir, by deflecting and blaming Louisiana’s educational system and absolving individuals from personal accountability, you are perpetuating the same cycle you claim needs to be broken.

New York spends the most in the country at roughly 30k per student, how's that working out for them?

Maybe me meant by parents, students and educators. Not just more money?

He’s a Democrat so his ideas for policy are probably horrible.
But this:

Is not wrong.

The education system has always been, is, and will always be the best way to address the societal issues we are facing.

The schools can't do a damned thing with a child if the parent(s) won't help.

The educated ones leave the state. At some point well paying job opportunities have to become part of the equation.

So the democratic voters need to educate their children in the home.

Bkack people will even tell you this. The ones that got out. It wasn’t cool to be smart.

Is another juan williams……a local village idiot / court jester that only speaks when it’s told to do so. That bum is a total waste of taxpayer money in an elected position.

Notice how it’s only the blacks that are coming out against the proposed reforms? That right there should say all that needs to be said with how those people think. They’ll never have any accountability for their own crowd and its actions.

When those people come out adamantly against something then you know it’s a good thing. They’re too stupid to see how stupid they are and always stereotype themselves.

No correlation exist in the amount of money spent per student and the quality of education.

Until people are allowed to fail without the government bailing them out it won’t end.

If a society refused to allow its people to fail, it guarantees failure. Accountability of decision making is the only thing that can fix it. The old saying, you don’t work, you don’t eat.

I couldn't have said it better:

Senator Boudreaux is just repeating the tired old mantra of blaming poverty and race on crime. Have you seen what black kids (with the help of white liberals) have done to our public schools? They don't want to be educated. They demand free stuff.

Education begins in the home and as long as Louisiana continues to subsidize single mothers nothing will change. We need to hold people accountable for their mating habits and not continue to reward terrible choices.

That's always black Democrats solution. "We need more money." Never mind Louisiana already spends more per student than most other states on public education with horrific outcomes. Let's just throw MORE money at it!! That will work.

Then let the money follow the student and see what happens.
Right now we pay more per student in taxes than it costs to go to a Catholic school.

It’s not education it’s a lack of parenting.

Building more prisons and sentencing criminals to lengthy sentences will reduce crime.

Everything else is just whistling past the graveyard.
