re: The Reveille doubles down on stupid.

It’s still going off a false premise to begin with because the St George incorporation has nothing to do with a school system, yet at least.

St George would still be in EBRPSS until a constitutional amendment passed allowing the new district.


So, in other words, it is poorly researched at best and intentional disinformation and scare tactics at worst.

And the Advocate article is quick to point out that voting for the new city does not create a school district, yet they post another article talking about how well-funded school district may see rising costs if it turns out as good as expected...

Who cares what the reveille says man? Why are you reading a college newspaper?

A friend of mine sent me the link, I enjoyed the Reveille in the late 80 when it was just fun.

What’s the name of the racist who wrote the article?

“ This sinister and outdated tactic, known as gerrymandering “.
“It is without a doubt “
“ perpetual racism “

LOL.

FTR, my kids aren’t “ white “ , they are biracial, they all attended or attend Baton Rouge public schools, and we favor St George.

The author of that shabbily written Marxist diatribe should educate itself. Or not. Don’t really care.

All it tells me is that the Whole fricking Manship Family wasted their money by supporting the journalism school at LSU.

The only people that have gerrymandered anything is the city of BR by annexing the commercial areas of SG

Don’t forget the folks behind the CATS tax.
They excluded SG from that vote even though we receive bus service.

I’ve given up, I’m all the bad things liberal politicians and SJW’s say about me. I cannot win because I am a white male living in the USA and, extra negative strike, I am Southern and educated.

I'm not sure why the author thinks the kids would HAVE to go the SJA.

It's not like SJA has a district that feeds kids to them, it's a private school.

Tara neighborhood has held out (for now)

Tara isn’t going to go downhill. Home prices are still going up in the neighborhood even though it’s in its 4th-5th gen. The neighborhood itself is too centrally located to depreciate like some neighborhoods a little farther north.

And it will fall into more disrepair if St George fails and the people in that area says “Livingston and Ascension sound good right about now.”


St George may cut BR’s budget but keeping that money in the parish doesn’t hurt nearly as bad as it leaving the parish.

At which point the metro council likely push a “city tax” on people working in BR but living elsewhere, similar to what exists in places like NYC where people move out to the suburbs due to costs.
