Dr. Oscar Dantzler draws curtain on 30+ year school bus driver career, but goes out in his own style by qualifying for U. S. Congressman, filing yet another lawsuit beyond the 25+ he’s previously filed.

Dr. Oscar “Omar” Dantzler, Jr., who has qualified for Louisiana’s Fifth Congressional District for U. S. Congress and who has a years-long legal battle with the Tangipahoa Parish School System where he retired last month and immediately filed yet another in the 25+ lawsuits he’s filed for various matters in the past.

Many of our long-time Sound Off Louisiana subscribers will recall our September 17, 2019 feature entailing frustrations which Dr. Oscar “Omar” Dantzler, Jr., expressed against Gov. John Bel Edwards as he challenged Edwards’ re-election efforts.

Dr. Dantzler contacted us and asked if he could conduct a Sound Off Louisiana feature to vent his continued frustrations with the Tangipahoa Parish School System, where he recently retired after a 30+ year career as a school bus driver for the system.  His presentation lasted 59 minutes, but we’ve condensed it to highlights on a 12-minute video, and that video follows:
