A former student at Mt. Olive Christian School in Claiborne Parish has posted on Facebook that Nathan Jump did in fact, in her eyes at least, appear to act inappropriately with certain female students at the school.

Jump, the husband of 2^nd JDC district attorney candidate Tammy Jump, was arrested last February for sexual battery and again last week on a single count of molestation of a juvenile and two counts of indecent behavior with juveniles.

Until his February arrest, he was principal of Mt. Olive Christian School and is listed as vice-president of the Association of Christian Educators of Louisiana, according to the Secretary of State’s corporate records. Those records show that the association’s non-profit corporation is “not in good standing for failure to file [an] annual report.” It last filed its annual report on Feb. 12, 2025.

Tammy Jump’s parents, James and Linda Gantt and one other member of the Gantt family, Perry Keith Gantt, serve on the school’s board of directors and Linda Gantt is listed on the school’s web page as its headmaster. The school was incorporated in 1995, according to state records.

Tammy Jump, who has served as an assistant DA for the 2^nd JDC for about 25 years, is pitted against Jim Colvin, also an assistant DA in the 2^nd JDC for the DA’s job.

Subsequent to publication of her husband’s arrests by LouisianaVoice, Tammy Jump posted on Facebook, “Living the farm life. People can hate all they want. I know who I am, and I know who Nathan is. The lies and defamatory statements being posted on social media are just that. The truth is going to come out. Until then, we will keep loving our animals and counting the blessings that God gives us every day. Sweep Pea says she’s ready for America’s 250^th birthday celebration.”

Sweetpea is apparently the cow that is included in Tammy Jump’s post.

The former student, whose Facebook identity we’re not revealing, posted a response, saying, “She (Tammy Jump) posted this about it (apparently the controversy swirling around her husband’s arrest). And I’m sorry, but so many girls have come forward. There’s no way all of them are lying. And I went to that school. [H]e 100% had favorites. He would write love notes to them, take them to lunch, and text them who knows what? At the end of the day they are trying like hell to sweep it under the rug. It’s just said how the justice system is.”

Tammy Jump, in giving misleading information pertaining to rape laws, led a grand jury into refusing to bring charges against Rev. Mack Ford who owned and operated the New Bethany School for Girls in Arcadia despite testimony from several survivors of the school who described sexual assault by Ford and New Bethany staff members.

But it was learned by LouisianaVoice that members of Ford’s family performed work for the Gantt family, which should have triggered a recusal from Tammy Jump. Subsequent to Ford’s death, the Mt. Olive Christian School, run by the Gantt family, now owns the former New Bethany property.

Well, the P.O.S. in the Oval Office can no longer claim that he thought he was being portrayed as a doctor healing Americans in the last image he posted of himself in the Jesus robe a couple of week back. So, why is he repeating the image in his latest post elow as him (still dressed in that same pseudo-Jesus robe) helping Lady Liberty deliver a baby bearing his likeness? My God, this is beyond bad taste. This is depravity, indicative of serious mental illness. So, why don’t we just call it TDS? It is, after all, Trump and there’s no question it’s deranged–pegging the humor meter at about the 6th grade level.

As we move into the 2026 hurricane season along the Gulf (of Mexico) coast, it seems a good time to see how California, as opposed to Louisiana’s politicians, actually stand up to insurance companies who fail in their promise to be a good neighbor.

LouisianaVoice has, on multiple occasions, attempted to alert readers as to how insurance companies deliberately SABOTAGED POLICYHOLDERS on hurricane damage claims as part of their corporate strategy to “ DELAY, DENY, DEFEND.”

Of course, that strategy of shortchanging policyholders didn’t just apply to hurricanes. It was also employed to the practice of [dis]honoring claims on VEHICLE REPAIRS.

And what did Louisiana do about all that? Well, last December, Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple did APPROVE a 5.9 percent decrease on State Farm personal auto insurance policies while at the same time approving a 9.7 percent increase for the company’s homeowner rates.

As a refresher, in case you need it, we have this report of what happened in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina:

Less than a week following the devastation of Katrina, Nationwide, on September 4, 2005, instructed its claims adjusters that “if loss is caused by both flood and wind, there is no coverage,” according to Mississippi Gulf Coast U.S. Rep. Gene Taylor.

Nine days later, on September 13, Taylor said State Farm instructed its adjusters that “where wind acts concurrently with flooding to cause damage to the insured property, coverage for the loss exists only under flood coverage.”

On-site damage assessment by engineer Jerome Quintero of Rimkus Consulting Group, contracted by Allstate to handle claims, said there was “insufficient physical evidence to determine the proportion of wind versus storm surge that destroyed (a) structure.”

Less than a week following the devastation of Katrina, Nationwide, on September 4, 2005, instructed its claims adjusters that “if loss is caused by both flood and wind, there is no coverage,” according to Mississippi Gulf Coast U.S. Rep. Gene Taylor.

On-site damage assessment by engineer Jerome Quintero of Rimkus Consulting Group, contracted by Allstate to handle claims, said there was “insufficient physical evidence to determine the proportion of wind versus storm surge that destroyed (a) structure.”

That was in June 2006. But on November 4, Quintero’s conclusion of “insufficient physical evidence” was altered to read “Storm surge and waves destroyed the residence” by Rimkus staff who never visited the site. Quintero’s name was signed to the revised report without his knowledge, Taylor said.

So, in just those three examples, we have Nationwide, State Farm and Allstate implicitly telling their adjusters to blame Hurricane Katrina’s damage on water alone, thereby passing an inflated $23 billion bill on to American taxpayers.

Things were no better for the folks in Southwest Louisiana following Hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020 and 2021. Five and six years after the fact, homeowners are still fighting with their insurance companies—and even with the LOUISIANA INSURANCE GUARANTY ASSOCIATION created in 1970 as a safety net for policyholders left high and dry, so to speak.

Fast forward to those devastating wildfires in California last year and we learn that Louisianans weren’t the only victims of mishandled claims. In about half of the 220 sample claims reviewed, regulators in that state found 398 violations.

State Farm handled about a third of the 11,300 residential claims filed as a result of the fires destroying more than 18,000 structures and killing 31 people.

Because of that, California regulators are actually considering SUSPENDING STATE FARM’S LICENSE to do business in that state.

So, by comparison, California is attempting to bar State Farm from doing business there because of claims mishandling while Louisiana approves a hefty homeowners rate increase.

To paraphrase what someone once said, the more things change in Louisiana, the more they stay the same.
