I know this. I lived in LA for a while. I was referring to the public part, not the parish part.

Public school named after a religious individual? Hell the townships use a word synonymous with religious community. so fucked up and ingrained into the culture.

told by the school’s principlal, Jason St. Pierre, that she wasn’t “living in the Lord’s way.”
You mean the Lord’s way where Lot, the one righteous man, offered his daughters to the crowd as gRape-bait to “protect” the strangers? (Genesis 19)
Or perhaps the Lord’s way where the Lord killed Job’s wife and 7 kids in front of him, burned his house down and mercilessly tortured him for no reason, except to prove something that a supposedly omniscient being would already know? (Job)

This is Walker High, named for the town of Walker (which was named for a Confederate officer). A lot wrong there, but not sure what you mean
