my real opinion of this? elect better officals. i think its crazy that a city the size of baton rouge has so many problem with education. the state voucher system is throwing in the towel on education. if people would stop voting party lines and actually demand their canadates for office be able to fix problems the state and city would be a better place. and quit blaming north baton rouge for your problems. the crime and blight has been well contanied for years its like segregation never left this city.

Exactly, which is what I posted in the thread I started Sunday about Norman Browning. He is exactly the type of person who I would like to see get on the school board or run for mayor.

That's the answer, thanks.

Not crazy a result of years of segregation, then Federal interference, and poor supervision from elected school board members.

Public education in the inner city of BR has failed, what else do you suggest?

I don't see anyone blaming N BR.

Few people in EBR don't know of crimes committed in their neighborhoods. Sure the gang wars get all of the headlines, but unless it's Skip Bertman's home getting robbed, little is said or done with robberies elsewhere because they are too common place.
