Saw a preview for this on LPB today. LINK /
Overview of the show is segregation, and it apparently specifically spotlights the whole Baton Rouge vs. St. George thing here. Airs 7/15, should be interesting.

Considering the large percentage of minority students who would, from day one, be in St George Public Schools, it seems absurd to suggest creating SGPS is a move toward re-segregation. One could argue there is a shot that SGPS would, in the beginning, be more integrated than EBRPS. That is of course assuming that most private school kids in SG stay in their private schools.

I'm sure it will be a very fair and objective piece.

This should serve to expose Baton Rouge for the racists they are.
It's not a secret. Baton Rouge is very racist.

Yep, sounds like it will be full of half-truths and race-baiting stupidity.
But to be fair, a lot of people in St George are duped into believing that the new school district will mean fewer students being bussed in from poor black areas, when that simply isn't true. Deseg is over so hardly anything would change in that the area is already returning to neighborhood schools.
It'll give the St George politicians a taste of their own medicine, I guess.

What is racist about wanting to send your kid to a good school in a good school system?
A decade or do ago the cry was to make BR like Austin Texas. Well guess what, Travis County where Austin is has a dozen or so ISDs.
So are we suppose to model ourselves after Austin except when it comes to schools?
Btw 60 years ago Austin was smaller than BR, now it is much much larger. Schools are a big part of that equation.

Everyone knew St. George was about white parents not wanting to send their precious little darlings to public school with gasp black children.
