Observation on school assignments

Saying that surviving students are being placed at convenient locations where there's room, the school district is making school assignments for those not taking the initiative for themselves. Children temporarily residing at the convention center are being assigned to majority-minority schools, if reports are to be believed. We're not watching television and are listening to KOOP and KAZI with a little bit of KVET thrown in. The local daily has done some surprisingly good round-up coverage and some very decent features on our visitors and perhaps new residents-to-be. KAZI has been doing wonderful first-person accounts from the beauty-salon front. NYT and WSJ come at these stories from fresh angles, particularly those incorporating the business perspective. Surprisingly, I think that it was the WSJ that has been the only print or on-line echo of the theory I've been hearing, that this is a great opportunity for the GOP to turn New Orleans into a bastion of Republican voters, now that the riff-raff is gone, perhaps never to return. Louisiana may even lose a congressional district, it's speculated, because of population loss. Some states are surprised that survivors have no desire to take up a new life there.
