I’m from the Monroe area and I graduated from LSMSA. There are many LSMSA students from the Monroe Metro Area and people should be informed of what’s going on with the young people of their communities who live and go to school there.

A bomb threat at a major university in Louisiana is major news for the very obvious reason that many of us have friends and colleagues at the university someone is threatening to blow up.
