New Orleans and the rest of the state have some real problems that go beyond Hurricane Katrina:

NEW ORLEANS - Five fifth-grade students face criminal charges after authorities said four of them had sex in front of other students in an unsupervised classroom and kept a classmate posted as a lookout for teachers.

The students were arrested Thursday at the Spearsville school in rural north Louisiana, authorities said. Two 11-year-old girls, a 12-year-old boy and a 13-year old boy were charged with obscenity, a felony. An 11-year-old boy, the alleged guard, was charged with being an accessory.

“After 44 years of doing this work, nothing shocks me anymore,” said Union Parish Sheriff Bob Buckley. “But this comes pretty close.”

And we wonder why Louisianna has a problem with poverty and why folks didn’t get out of the way of a Hurricane and died in floods.  New Orleans has a huge crime and drug problem that existed far before Katrina.  They have huge problems with education and literacy.  The plight of New Orleans and their drug, crime, poverty and other problems only became a big deal after we saw what happens to uneducated poor people that suck at the tit of government and depend on others for their existence.

Perhaps these two should be in New Orleans engaging in the process of repopulating the Chocolate City.

UPDATE: More local updates on the school in question:

SPEARSVILLE - Two Union Parish fifth-graders had sex on a classroom floor while two others fondled each other in the classroom, according to a teacher at Spearsville High School...

Students at the kindergarten through 12th grade school are unruly, disrespectful and rarely disciplined, Walker said...

''They cuss at the teachers and throw things at them, and nothing is done,'' Walker said. ''There was even one student who grabbed a teacher in the butt and nothing was done. The students run the school.''

Walker said teachers learned Wednesday about the incident, which allegedly occurred during an assembly Tuesday to talk about a 15-year-old student accused of stabbing another student to death over the weekend.

The assembly was for sixth- through 12th-grade students. Fifth-grade students were not told about it, he said. But one class of about 15 fifth-grade students that routinely moves from a portable building to a main building classroom during the second hour of the school day was unattended on Tuesday.

Even better. This parish is in far northern LA, quite a ways from New Orleans, so I stand corrected. Actually it is closer to Arkansas, so it is possible (though not stated in the article) that the students in question were first cousins.
