No, it happens in EBR public schools, too. Not a bs theory.
Recently, I attended a funeral, and decided at its conclusion to walk through a nearby graveyard in Independence, La. Three young men from that small Tangipahoa Parish farm town were killed in Vietnam. The oldest was age 20. One drowned. One burned to death. The other was shot. I could barely read the inscriptions on their gravestone, the yard was unkempt with tall weeds, their graves appear to have been "upset," by God knows what. I stood there in utter sadness. Forgotten men, one block off a sun-baked rural highway, who never got to enjoy life. BR Catholic High School lost Donald Cook to the war in 1969. BR Robert E. Lee High School lost Don White in 1970. Broadmoor High School lost Roy Howard in 1968. I never knew these six men, but I think of them often. I don't really understand why, but it upsets me every April 30. RIP.
Sounds like a line straight from Philip Caputo's book, "A Rumor of War."
Caputo served there, the book is excellent, and is required reading at many universities where they study the war in Vietnam.

Oh, he's a racist. Make no mistake!
You don't care about anything except the inconsquence of sport. PATHETIC.
Written by a child who has never defended anything, never served anyone (except fries), never walked a "beat," never sacrificed anything.
No, the ump was telling the LSU hitter not to make it about HIMSELF.

I want a DEI pick in the second round.
Let's see...Jane/Jack Marquez, illegal immigrant, linebacker, 5-7, 165 pounds. Played middle school soccer. Age 35. Demands his own locker room space.
This is not going to be a popular statement, but some women do not belong in politics. They are comical. Maternal. Weak.
After football games, Mascona and TB Hebert are unwatchable. Just filth.
What's going on at the journalism school? Well, I can assure you there is no emphasis whatsoever in teaching basics, such as AP Style. WAFB, WBRZ, and other "news" outlets write like middle schoolers and their usage of slang is constant. It's really embarrassing.
That is hysterical.
Thanks for sharing.
