In September 2022, East Baton Rouge schools excused 2,100 students from class to attend a field trip billed as a career fair and instead appeared to be a church service. The trip was criticized by parents, teachers, and students for the apparent bait-and-switch, separating the students by gender, and lecturing the female students on topics that included forgiving rapists and encouraging bullying toward transgender students.[6]
In June 2023, WAFB reported there were 6,587 reported fights in the last two years across East Baton Rouge schools. WAFB also reported they found Instagram pages dedicated to fights at East Baton Rouge schools maintained by students. Likely even more fights happened but were not reported. EBRSP leaders stated they take violence seriously and will work to redress the issue.[7]
