Dear Elected Officials in Washington, D.C.,
I have one question: Did the levees in New Orleans fail because of faulty design, negligence, or neglect?
That's what I thought.
About Me
- LatinTeacher
- I grew up in Metairie, LA and lived in actual New Orleans for 12 years. The day that I turned 30, I moved to New Jersey and then to Easton, PA 4 years ago. As luck would have it, I was in New Orleans when Katrina approached and evacuated to Jackson, MS. Other than that, I am a Latin and history teacher at a small, independent school in NJ. I miss New Orleans a lot, think about it all the time, and try to go there whenever the work schedule allows.
