Until St George files for an ISD, how can they claim there is a case to be made based on that possibility?

They can't. And honestly, I don't know how a federal case for disparate impact would hold water here from a practical standpoint.

Its not like St. George is the first proposed independent school district in the country. There are thousands of them. Hell, there's three in East Baton Rouge Parish. I haven't research the issue, but federal jurisprudence surely cannot hold that "you must be forced to stay in and pay for a school district that you can't use simply because that district is majority black."

And I would need to look at the demographics but my guess is that the ones for St George reflect the ones for the parish at large, which is probably 60-40.

It isn’t like this is a 90% white area no matter what the opponents claim it is.

Question: Is BR still under a desegregation consent decree or is that ancient history?
