Yep but this has not discouraged it from going full liberal over the last few years. It's become like most of the MSM in the slanting of bias against anything conservative.

When is this "law" being voted on?
The Regular session begins April 8th. Bill would have to make it out of committee before going to the floor to vote. The committee is Local and Municipal Affairs, Chaired by the bill's author, Sen. Colomb, oddly enough...

You and all the Bishop Sullivan grads can start a support group, but they'll tell you there are worse reasons for a high school's name change.
Edit: Seems my Sullivan joke was late to the party, but in my defense those posts weren't connected to the original "name change" one.
Can go ahead and add Christian Life folks to that list as well. There school got a name change and will now be closing completely.

Whenever the LA legislature pulls away from the BR hookers long enough to have a vote.
The session doesn't start until next Monday. The bill Senate Bill 63 has been assigned to the Senate Committee on Local and Municipal Affairs, which Colomb chairs. I would expect it to be forced through the committee very quickly. Then, if the opposition is wise, multiple amendments will be proposed on the floor:
1. Remove the parish size requirement. They're trying to craft a bill that ONLY affects Baton Rouge so that the rest of the state isn't harmed by it. Undercut that by removing that provision in an easily defensible position of "fairness."
2. Add an effective date after the October election.
3. Add language that exempts previously filed incorporation efforts, thus exempting the St. George effort.
Any of those amendments being approved could undercut any chance Colomb has for the bill passing.

Nah, bruh. They'll build another new school and name it SGHS. There is no reason to change the name of Woodlawn. The LHSAA would just have to start referring to it as Woodlawn (St. George).

Pedophilia =/= incorporation

No shite? However, you didn't specify. All you said was "going to be weird being an alumnus if a school's name changes." Everyone has pointed out that school name changes have happened before.
Write out your thoughts better next time.

I know they have happened before. I'm just pointing out that it is strange to not have your high school around anymore. Not really a reason to start a debate.

Are you still walking around in your lettermen jacket or something? I never even refer to my high school any longer or myself as an alum of it.

I don't refer to my high school much either. We have our 20 year reunion coming up and it came across strange to me that the name of our school might be changed. Nothing more, nothing less.

Gerrymandering is the wrong term but tailoring the law so narrowly that it only applies to EBR Parish is a potential legal minefield.
If this law passes and JBE’s fiddle fricking around with setting a vote on this results in the whole parish getting to vote on the incorporation, you will see a LOT of support being thrown to his opponents.

They never were IN the boat in the first place. The constant lies, disingenuity, and underhanded tactics by the opposition tells me all I need to know. I live squarely in Baton Rouge and I support the people of St. George 100%.
The opposition has been appalling.

Is this all about racial disputes and white flight essentially? Poors have ruined the schools, middle class whites want their own schools that don't suck, urban leaders are like nah, we want your money you can't leave.
Is that it in a nutshell?

Personally, I think it is gerrymandering. Gerrymandering cannot be carried out by a private group of citizens seeking to incorporate an unincorporated area. It CAN be carried out by the government trying to grant an electoral advantage to the City-Parish over the citizens who wish to incorporate the area. The government trying to change the voting dynamic by diluting the vote of a certain group of private citizens is certainly gerrymandering. The private citizens of unincorporated EBR Parish trying to incorporate and unincorporated area in which they reside (no matter how questionable the boundaries may appear) is called Freedom of Association and the Right of Self-Governance

St. George has done everything by the book this run. It's their constitutional right to incorporate.
ETA: State constitution.
