(9-7-22) JEFF BLOG: Brumley defies rules -- now what, AG Landry?

JP Dems

By Gordon Bowie, Jefferson Parish Democratic Executive Committee

It is obvious to anyone paying attention that Attorney General Jeff Landry is the greatest defender of law and order in Louisiana.

Given his unwavering devotion to the enforcement of any and all laws, when can we expect that AG Landry and Treasurer John Schroder will force the Louisiana State Bond Commission to freeze all bonds relating to the state Department of Education?

Superintendent Cade Brumley has announced he will not follow federal laws or policies relating to trans-gender students. Superintendent Brumley is under the mistaken belief that state laws supersede federal laws. If Superintendent Brumley chooses to read the state social studies standards and curriculum, he may notice there was a little war in the mid-nineteenth century that settled that question.

Will Landry and Schroder take the same steps against the State Board of Education as the ones they took against the city of New Orleans, or does it not matter because the only people that are being hurt by Brumley’s actions are children?
