re: I don't think LSU will enforce the ACT requirement

LSU has built a business model that’s unsustainable unless they do away with these standards. The only way they keep operating as they are now is they hopefully start getting a larger influx from out of state kids from the NE
Exactly. They're gonna have to keep the flood gates open. I don't see NE kids lining up for LSU. They seem to prefer Tulane much more than LSU.

BR High White students went from the largest racial group to the second largest and they are now back to the largest. When they opened Liberty Magnet High, a lot of the Black kids left BR High b/c it was too challenging and competitive for them

They will enforce requiring one, but the requirement has no teeth. Pushed the ones with inflated HS GPAs getting scholarships off to 2028 and then diluted it completely with no minimum and just being one attribute among many that the admissions council or whatever it’s called doing the holistic admissions can review as part of its decisions. At most it may provide a reporting opportunity to check GPAs versus scores for admissions and scholarships decisions.
If fall of 2026 (likely as most offers done before new guys) and fall of 2027 incoming freshman classes continue trend of whites being below 50% of the last 2 Fall incoming freshman classes what happens in 2028 will not matter as much as white undergraduates on campus will have dropped below 50% of the total undergraduate enrollees on campus.
And unlike public high schools (see BR Magnet High), white populations at public colleges never rebound. Once it drops below 50%, it keeps going down fast (see University of Houston). LSU will turn into an even lower tier flagship institution in the near future. It's gonna turn into only a slightly better version of Southern University

Having a high school senior that is graduating next week… I was stunned at the lack of academic scholarships LSU gives. It’s basically TOPS and a few free rides. Whereas the other state schools offer supplements to TOPS
I guess they would rather have students “paying” full rides via loans.
Like I said LSU needs the low achievers to supplement their budget. LSU doesn't know how increase its budget and endowment without admitting collegiate gang bangers and skrippers. Most of that athletics money go back into athletics.

Yeah but most of them drop out early or go home as much as they can. They don't like to hang out at SLU like they do at LSU.
LSU has become a trash magnet. Something I never seen before 2020

Test optional is fine when done properly but it's being weaponized to artificially create diversity instead of awarding deserving students a spot at the state's top public university

I thought I never would say this but right now I do consider Southeastern a better learning environment than LSU.
I just read about the LSU freshman who was indicted on 2nd degree attempted murder charges for some gang banging activity. Like huh? LSU be letting anybody in nowadays.

I know we all celebrated with the announcement that they were gonna re-implement respectable requirements to attend but I strongly believe it was just to shut us up.
First off, instead of immediately implementing the test score requirement for all applicants. They pushed it back to Summer 2028. That should tell you they are not serious about it.
And secondly, LSU still reserve the right to admit low test score students based on "holistic review" which is how a lot of the students who don't deserve to be at LSU will be at LSU.
I want to be wrong but I know how these liberals operate. For example, when Harvard Law ended DEI in 2023 it resulted in the lowest black 1L enrollment in its law school in decades. They figured out ways to discreetly re-implement DEI and now the black 1L enrollment is back near DEI levels.
LSU is about quantity and $$$ ... not quality. LSU can be about all three but I feel like the university and the state is cursed. I've watched this great state and university go further and further down hill as I've aged. I'm very pessimistic about the future of LSU and the once great state of Louisiana needless to say.

White trash is not nearly as problematic as "them". I hate when people make false comparisons. They are much more civilized. I'll take white trash any day before "them"

Not everybody is equal. We need to separate the civilized from the uncivilized. And race strongly correlates with civilized folks vs uncivilized folks. Spend a day at Istrouma or Glen Oaks High and a day at Central or St Amant High. You'll reaffirm my statement

It works in Atlanta. In Atlanta, they have their hood malls and shopping centers south of I-20. Greenbriar, Southlake Mall, Camp Creek Marketplace, Stonecrest Mall, and 2 - 4 others. Where they of course shoot, fight, stab, and rob each other on the regular. Most of the smart businesses been closed down but there's still enough left to keep them coming back.
The nicer malls north of I-20 (Lenox, Phipps, Cumberland, Atlantic Station) do get ghettorized every now and then but they still desirable and respectable places (especially in the day time) unlike south of I-20.
Baton Rouge needs to create a ghetto lil boosie endorsed ratchet azz mall in North Baton Rouge near Southern University or Airline Hwy somewhere and let them take over and run it down as we know they will. That will preserve Perkin Rowe and MOL much longer. Otherwise Perkin Rowe and MOL are toast. They are like parasites, where they take over it dies.

Without a strong White population no mall will thrive. Black and Hispanics can't sustain a good mall. That's what happened to Cortana and Bon Marche .. once the Whites left so did the mall

There's no future. I grew up in BR and remember the excitement of MOL. When it first opened there was no sense of danger whatsoever. It's really sad to see where it is now.
I expect the mall to close in the next 5 years and Perkin Rowe will become the new shopping center and the ones in Gonzales.
Even though Republicans control state government, Louisiana has a lot of powerful democrats who are destroying the state. Also the Republicans in state has are not among the brightest Republicans like you'll see in Florida, Georgia, and Texas.

This is perfect and so true. It's why Baker and eventually Zachary will fall. Middle class white and black people tuck tail and run and do not stand their ground.
They allow thugs to push them out of their favorite stores, homes, tailgates, etc
They run and hide too easily. Instead of talking to elected officials, police, representatives, etc.
It's just the French influence. Complain and do nothing.
The legal and political system is a complete failure. Look at the crime rates and disorder in the EBR area. Many of them are repeat offenders thanks to weak democrat judges. It's better to move if you can afford it. Zachary will absolutely be another Baker so the smart ones are selling now to make a profit while dumb people who think they can fight to fix it stay and buy homes. 5 years from now Zachary home prices will drop notably.
Also there's nothing to fight for. Zachary is just your average Louisiana decent suburban town. Nothing special about it you can't find elsewhere. The schools were special but not anymore

re: NSFW — New dress code at the Houston Rodeo... and it finally surfaced: “IT IS RACIST”
Posted by PelicanState87 on 3/24/26 at 2:50 pm to HoustonGumbeauxGuy
2020 has taught many black people they can weaponize their blackness whenever they get angry or dislike something. Fortunately, it's working less and less in 2026. I'm black and no the dress code is not racist. The author is a fool and degenerate apologist. Mainstream media is liberal trash which is why they can't sell papers like they used to
