I personally think it's because - when you get right down to it - the citizens of the state just don't actually value education. Look at the other flagship schools of the SEC...they are just so much better.

And I'm not sure the reason, but the deal the state struck way back when with the feds on energy royalties is just so absurdly shitty.

I read something the other day that stated Louisiana has the highest percentage of native born residents than any other state….that tells me there is relatively no one moving to Louisiana by choice and the best brightest are moving out.

Those who stay have been getting ducked over years and just and consider the bad politics as just a normal part of LA culture.

It’s the general culture of Louisiana w regard to gov. Plus at this point the brain drain has left the state with nothing but clowns to run the state. R or D doesn’t matter, it’s clowns all the way down.

This guy. Some say he saved the colony of Louisiane a few times from starvation.
For his service the king of france rewarded him with land in the colony.
The land he chose he sold back to france so that new orleans could be built upon it.

Why? Some of the finest young people want to leave the state for more opportunities


The corruption is so deep and engrained it can seemingly never be broken. The politicians will never not steal that money and use it for their own personal gain.

I know for myself I just got so tired of how hard everything was, living in an expensive area and paying high sales taxes, moderately high property taxes, state income taxes, high insurance costs and still having to send my kids to private school, and not being able to use any public thing.

The people who stay make so many excuses for it for some reason. I did for a long time too.

Texas by comparison is so easy, everything is nice and usable. Getting out of LA is seriously like being able to breathe again, wish we would have moved a long time ago.

Because many of our native citizens don’t know the difference between worse and worst.

Education has more to do with parents than the system. No system can consistently overcome poor parenting.

States education system or state’s education system?

Organized Crime!
While working for an Electrical Contractor in Mississippi, we had to get approval for the power line poles from an organization in Chicago.
Does that make sense.

The state has never recovered from its historical Frenchness.
