It Should Be Evident :: INEQUALITIES DEFICIENCY Established

@Japapathway

The evident established inequalities of a deficient system of government is consistent in the seeming manifest destiny of the downtroddened.  

Will efficacy, rule the day.

Should anyone think, the current City School Board leadership is going to look out for the well being of people, whom they-(the Neville Group) were attempting to pull away from with a Charter School, is in an altered state of reality.

The Louisiana Western District Court is in the midst of a Unitary Status declaration of a fifty plus years desegregation Lawsuit in Northeast Louisiana's hub city. Imagine that, 50-plus years.  

All the while, the local media is concerned about other irreconcilable differing opinions. 

The pending declartion is evidence of the racial divide in the town of 50,000 more or less; depending on which agency the numbers come from.  

Now, that the new City School Board President has been voted on and selected, with the voting down racial lines, in the top two offices; it should be evident to all concerns the status of this southern town's divisions. 

Not very long ago, the Neville Group was seeking a Charter for the High School of the same name, at which time the now Superintendent was the Principal. 

The newly-elected 2018 President was instrumental in the dismantling of prior Board leadership; to the point of the then Vice-President resigning.  And now, the outgoing President has decided not to run for boardmember in his district, after four terms.

Accepting the current status-quo. These prevailing winds of conservative republicanism is evidenced in local actions as well, caused by the Trump Administration's racial & social animus against anything not emanating from the Caucausus Mountain Region.

LDF files lawsuit alleging discrimination against Haitian immigrants
Dear Unfound, 

Yesterday, we challenged discrimination against immigrants of color.

LDF just filed a lawsuit on behalf of the NAACP and its Haitian members in response to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) decision to rescind the Temporary Protective Status (TPS) designation for Haitian immigrants.

Our lawsuit claims that the DHS, former Acting DHS Secretary Elaine C. Duke, and current DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen took irrational and discriminatory government action, denying Haitian immigrants their right to due process and equal protection under the Fifth Amendment.
LDF believes the decision to rescind Haitian immigrants' protective status is discriminatory – so we're fighting back. 
As evidence of the intent to discriminate, the lawsuit cites public reporting that DHS sought crime data on Haitians with TPS, as well as information on how many Haitian nationals were receiving public benefits. The complaint further alleges that President Trump's public hostility toward immigrants of color was a contributing factor in the decision to rescind Haitian TPS.

Haitian immigrants first received Temporary Protective Status in 2010 as part of the Department of Homeland Security's efforts to assist the country after it was struck by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake. Haiti's TPS designations have been extended multiple times due to many factors, including multiple hurricanes and a cholera outbreak. 

This is a simple case. Our democracy rests on the bedrock principle that every person is equal before the law. Governmental decisions that target people based on racial discrimination violate our Constitution. 

But we're still preparing for a battle ahead. Read our press release to learn more. I look forward to keeping you updated as this case develops. 
With you in struggle,
