There have been widespread reports of racism and discrimination in Red Cross shelters, especially in Lafayette, Lake Charles and Baton Rouge. One Louisiana school suspended all New Orleans students as punishment for the actions of one child.įor many who are still in the shelter system, abuse and revictimization is rampant. Parents are still trying to find a school district for their kids, and local schools are over full and some are not welcoming. I won’t add to the ridicule heaped upon him by Jon Steward and company tonight.Ī month later, many of those dislocated and displaced from New Orleans are still trying to reunite with family members, still trying to find out information about their homes and belongings, still grieving over their losses.
Wow, that Mike Brown just keeps topping himself.
