The president of the NAACP in Shreveport is keeping his eye on the situation. He says he plans on giving school officials time to deal with the issue before stepping in.

The president of the NAACP Chapter in Shreveport, James Pannell, is keeping his eye on the situation. Pannell says he plans on giving school officials time to deal with the issue before stepping in. Pannell says, "In the Jena situation, they were given the opportunity to rectify the situation and they didn't. School systems should be given that same opportunity,"

Now that is so nice of James Pannell to be keeping his

on the situation. I am sure he is a Jessie and Al want to be. I am sure the nice folks at Northwood can handle up on this situation. James did get some press out of it. This racial tension has been around for a very long time. I can remember when the buses came to Captain Shreve and the fights started. I must say at Parkway High that the kids seem to get along pretty good. Lot of military folks that have good manners and a police department that is proactive. I am sure James Pannell would love to stir the pot if he gets a chance.

Being a proud Northwood graduate, I don't think there is "racial tension" at the school. I know lots of kids who attend school there and things seem to be fine. The only problem with this will be the fuel the NAACP pours out to try and start a fire. Obviously , the school administrators handled the situation and NAACP should not blow it out of proportion.

I think someone might be feeling a little left out of the recent Jena hype. If there is no racial tension then we'll just create some by reporting that there is. This way everyone is happy, the news media sells papers and gets big headlines, and James Panel can look like he's doing something. Of course us white folks will take the fall for all of it.

I hear that some students might not be going to school tomorrow at Northwood because of all the tension and rumors. But I don't know any details..

I think Racial Tension is every where. The media and net along with sheet birds like Al and Jessie and now bro James is getting some local action. Northwood does not need this crap and I hope somebody does not do something to make national news we have had enough for this state till eternity. You wan to see some tension read the comments on Shreveport times on their columns and it is bitter, bitter. Anybody got a fix let me know ?
I am glad to live in south Bossier. Very good demographics but we too are not immune to this crap.
