This is not just a small problem that happened at school, this is how they were raised. Rebel flags and white hoods are very common in Jena and LaSalle Parish....You just need to vist this town and find out how closed minded most of the folks are.

What you is paint is somewhat true (the racial divide in this town) ...There has always been a serious black vs white gang type related problem in this area that has brought a crime element to this town. This has overlapped into the school system and has caused serious tensions. It comes from both sides of the fence.
