There's a little edit war brewing here. Please discuss. I just added a source that says it was.— alf laylah wa laylah ( talk) 18:24, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
The school was not originally founded in 1852 and then reopened. These were two entirely different organizations. It is specious to claim that there's any connection between them other than that the later one bought the campus of the earlier one.— alf laylah wa laylah ( talk) 14:59, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

By "parents who opposed government intervention in education?" A ridiculous euphemism. It was founded to evade racial segregation of public education and RS say so. As a sanity check, one might wonder why "parents who opposed government intervention in education" would accept financial support from the state government of Louisiana to run their school. They were opposed to integration, not "government intervention."— alf laylah wa laylah ( talk) 15:03, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
This: Changes to the school's admission's policies, as evidenced by the non-discrimination policy posted on the school's official website, were later instituted, allowing for its graduates to qualify for the TOPS scholarship. strikes me as OR. The school has a non-discrimination policy. That should be stated and self-sourced. That the change in policy allowed its graduates to qualify for the scholarship is OR. If a claim is made that the state law requires non-discrimination for grads to receive the scholarship and the school made the change, then this would be synthesis rather than valid support of the claim.— alf laylah wa laylah ( talk) 18:53, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
