None of those arguments seem sound. I dont think it will ever be equal funding. A city close to Houston (Katy) built a HS football stadium for 72M from local taxpayer money. Imagine spending 72M on a high school football stadium? Sounds crazy. If I lived there and didnt have kids I'd be pissed...
Peeps from Louisiana know. Listening to peeps from other states trying to figure out how to pronounce cities and streets is funny. We have the city of Iowa pronounced eyeuhway and a street in New Orleans called Tchoupitoulas (Choputulas)
I read currently its 55/45 white to minority. Its not a white black issue. Baton Rouge has been run terribly for many many years now. Then you had the influx of all the Katrina peeps that never left so the crime rose etc.

None of the politicians imo. They only care when it's election season. I do think there are major issues with the welfare system today. What we have been doing or the way we have gone about helping hasn't worked. We need representation that really wants to work on issues rather than continue...
Not totally. I'm sure there are some racial things. The new city will be 55% white so 45% minority. Def lends itself to more of an economic divide with some other points being minor. But the reality of btr is they received a large influx of poor after Katrina that never returned to New Orleans...
Black children are the least likely group to be adopted as well while seventy something percent of adopting parents are white. Adopting the least adopted group isn't a negative unless you are a bigot. That's the reason color matters to some. Ultimately, those children are just children. Early...
