  • Some see the court orders’ endurance as a sign the government never eradicated segregation, while officials in Louisiana and at some schools see the orders as bygone relics that should be wiped away.

    Louisiana officials want to get rid of these bygone relics so they can bring back even older bygone relics.

  • Plaquemines Superintendent Shelley Ritz said Justice Department officials still visited every year as recently as 2023 and requested data on topics including hiring and discipline. She said the paperwork was a burden for her district of fewer than 4,000 students.

    “It was hours of compiling the data,” she said.

    Damn, I hate doing a few hours of work as part of my superintendent job.
