Parents seeking to block Terrebonne s closing of Pointe-aux-Chenes School lose round in court

Parents seeking to block Terrebonne s closing of Pointe-aux-Chenes School lose round in court Kezia Setyawan, The Courier © Kezia Setyawan/Houma Courier-Thibodaux Daily Comet Pointe-aux-Chenes Elementary School A federal judge has rejected parents request to immediately halt the Terrebonne Parish School Board s actions to close Pointe-aux-Chenes Elementary until a hearing on their lawsuit is held. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier rejected the plaintiffs request for a temporary restraining order in a decision Friday.  To win such a ruling, plaintiffs are usually required to show irreparable harm will occur unless a judge takes immediate action. That s something the School Board, in court  papers, argues the plaintiffs have failed to show.  

Native Americans reflect on Houma schooling during segregation

Charlie Duthu remembers his school days fondly despite the racially segregated arrangement enforced in Terrebonne Parish and across the South. Duthu, a 73-year-old United Houma Nation tribal member, attended Daigleville School while the parish operated a public school system that segregated campuses three ways: all white, all Black, all Native American. “I’m glad that the School Board allowed us to have our own school, said Duthu, who graduated from the Houma school in 1966. There was a stigma back then against us. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down racial segregation in public schools with the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, but Terrebonne still divided students according to their skin color.
