But all you have now is Guice's facebook post where he felt the need to defend himself and trying to decipher what he meant by "all" and "y'all". All the white students? All the white teammates? All the black ones? All the people calling him a POS and liar?
What's your end game? For nobody to ever disagree with an LSU athlete again?
Again, this means nothing to Catholic. It doesn't tarnish anything. But if you're upset, be upset with Hayes IMO. Guice's experience is his own and if he went through situations at school that affected him negatively, like he said, it made him who he is today. He doesn't seem to hate anything about it now. Yet, here we are. LSU fans offended. My problem isn't with you who just disagrees. It's with those who make this way more than it is.

Oh good. People are talking about the article while you keep talking about the FB post.

I thought we were talking about the article

I apologize. I should have said the Facebook post. Although the article does paint Catholic in a bad light by forcing someone out. When in reality, it is a policy to protect both the students and teachers

how they should have talked to someone at the school first
or a representative like warrick dunn who helped illegally recruit him?

coming from an alum of another Brother's of the Sacred Heart school, I'll say that Catholic High in BR is an elitist school, different from my high school experience. Sure, we had the elitist at ours too, but BR is different than where I come from. Though it's slowly changing, BR is a largely segregated community.

I didnt know recruiting and sports scholarships was legal now?

BM had school at night and was co-ed, offering classes to all the catholic girls from nola.

And where was there a sports scholarship mentioned?

Catholic High did not. Now night school with Brother Martin might have.

It's not unequivocally true for every child but I can promise you way too many kids of both races don't grow up knowing how to interact with others.
I totally agree with this...
back to the article, it's very well written and explains something I've seen in Guice...a hunger to succeed...

The more disturbing part of the article to me was that Derrius questions why God was not there to protect his father and to protect and provide for him and his family. It's the classic "why do bad things happen if there is a loving God" question. My hope is that Derrius gets an answer to that question.
I too was mad after my father died prematurely but I don't believe in a God that protects us from hurricanes, guns, car wrecks, diseases and on and on. My faith has taught me that there are loving people that help us through those times (like the counselor from CHS). Maybe this counselor believes she was doing the work of God by loving Derrius and in that sense God was "with" Derrius and still is.

That community may have only lifted him up when they found out he was a hell of a football player. He mentions that he experienced hate his 9th grade year and wanted to transfer to McKinley.
