VIDEO AT LINK

A high school graduation in Maryland is gaining national attention for the immaturity of the adults in attendance rather than the success of the students onstage.

A massive brawl broke out outside Towson University’s SECU Center on Tuesday after the Randallstown High School class of 2014 took the stage for their diplomas, according to local media.

Full-grown men and women were exchanging punches while their embarrassed children looked on in graduation gowns.

Sue me, but...

Roe vs. Wade staved off the destruction/collapse of this nation by a good 20 years.

Yes, the pros went right to Waffle House where the close quarters combat techniques learned in the kids’ earlier years at Chuckee Cheese could be used in the AC, and after a good square meal.

What was the usual cause of these scuffles?

I honestly can't say. Perhaps someone made a rude comment. Who knows? All I can say is that the ceremony is moving along, then all of a sudden a fight breaks out in the audience. The school police (pretend police) try to break it up, but to no avail. Then the city police (real police) show up with dogs and guns, and the whole thing gets shut down.

It makes for entertaining theater. Except for the fact that there are decent graduates on stage who deserve a peaceful and dignified ceremony.

Probably Great Grandparents, seriously.

It’s too bad for the kids, a few bad apples ruining their big day. I can see why you would pass. Thanks.
Teacher huh? My hat’s off to you.

I know what you are saying, but I disagree. Roe vs. Wade has led to this perverse Moloch worship where the Nation deems it is OK to sacrifice babies at the altar of "free" and easy sex, and materialism. This has destroyed the sanctity of life, and the institutions of marriage, and family.

So I know where you are coming from, but a Nation that forgets God will reap all kinds of evil. And a Nation that supports abortion on demand is a Nation that has forgotten God.

Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

And one reason I hate Parent-Teacher Night. There is ALWAYS at least one parent (usually of the same persuasion) who starts to get rude, screaming at you, cursing, etc. because their little LaShanda received a failing grade. LaShanda, who was last seen in class 6 months ago and who never turned in any work whatsoever. I don't bother to point our that they never answered any of my phone messages or emails expressing concern over LaShanda's absences or lack of work completed. I smile and pleasantly say, "Oh, I see LaShanda must take after your side of the family. Am I right?" Just before I tell them that they have to leave the room because their behavior is unacceptable.

Many teachers I know have student monitors helping with crowd control on Parent-Teacher Night for just such a reason.

I hear you. For me, standard procedure is to always start with a compliment: "LaShanda has not brought any weapons to class, to my knowledge." Then I can get more to the point: "However, she has only attended three days in the six weeks."

I’m going to watch the video. I bet it’s those pesky Amish again. Civilization is going the way of the pigs.

Oh, and here's one more thing you might find interesting. I've taught in majority-white urban schools and majority-black urban schools. Parent-teacher night was MUCH better attended at the majority-black schools.

The conversations were also much more - shall we say - animated at majority-black schools as well.

At this point its all a waste of time. All of it.

The Union will be long dead in less than 100 years. Goodbye United States.

Its just done, finished - a foregone conclusion.

Let's put this together:

1. A minority race that feels entitled;
2. A minority race that has been brought up without decent values;
3. A minority race that is mostly fatherless without such discipline;
4. A minority race that doesn't give a damn about the nation they live in and get free bennies, while others die and bleed so they can get the latest sneakers.
5. A majority race that is the same as above, but to a lessor degree (think trailor trash).
