.......said one teacher who asked for anonymity.

That one line tells us who's in charge.

"an 18-year-old honor student,"

Honor student was later heard to say---"I will NEVER HIRE any those bums"

"For these [attackers] to do what they did is beyond disgusting,'' said one teacher who asked for anonymity.

When you express a controversial thought like that, you need to do so anonymously. However, if the teacher had condemned the young man for needlessly provoking his classmates, the teacher could certainly have used his/her name.

The victim's father said he is pulling his son out of Kennedy.

There's the problem right there. This kid obviously had an unfair advantage over his fellow urban youths.

They had been held for a metal detector search...? It doesn't sound like a school it sounds like a prison.

When do we finally come to the conclusion that not everyone should be required to have a public education? As long as schools have to have cameras and metal dectators it's educational mission is compromised to a point where it's not worth much.

Jerks who don't want to learn and keep others from leaning MUST be barred.

Where on earth did these cretins manage to find large amounts of human feces, and then transport it to fling on the student that was the object of this attack?

Also, I can only think of one animal that will fling its feces at you, and the comparison is not a flattering one.

This is what the culture of glorifying self-esteem above all else has brought us. The idea that bullies have "low self-esteem" is one of the dumbest in modern history. Bullies have too much self-esteem. That's why they're bullies. They arrogantly think they're better than anyone else and have the right to pick on whoever they want.

the 28 reported violent incidents through Jan. 31 are "still a relatively small number of incidents given the large number of students -- 1,600.''

Still sounds like a lot to me.

I agree. No point in needlessly demeaning that species here.

So, I wonder why they were beating on this kid.

It can't be that they thought he was gay. In that case the term 'gay bashing' would dominate the title, or at least the first sentence.

Same if he were black and/or mozzie.

No cookie-cutter buzzwords here to tell us what a sickening white-hetero-male-caused trajedy this is. Therefore the attackers must not have been straight white males.

I predict (based on the lack of detail and absence of bandwagon media pseudo-outcry) that the attackers were gays, mozzies, or some other lib/media darling group while the kid they were pounding on is one of those evil oppressive white male types.

We had a way to deal with gangs of bullies back in the old days....one by one, alone, dark and with a baseball bat. It is amazing the level of cowardice once they are separated from the pack.

The attackers probably produced the missile weapons through digestive processes. With manual loading and launching, neither delivery systems nor ammunition would have problems getting through the metal detectors.

Absolutely. But the free babysitting that public schools provide has allowed women to work which has allowed the govt to increase taxes everywhere.

It won't be easy to break the cycle. Every community I've lived in continues to raise their school levy.

One of these days we'll recognize that children really do need to be raised by adults who care about them, not teachers, and that capitalism will fail without human capital.

"The attackers probably produced the missile weapons through digestive processes."

Their own? They dropped trou, stood there and took a dump, into their own hands, with the express purpose of slinging it at this kid? Good grief, it's some sort of scatalogical "Lord Of The Flies."

Sounds like a lot to me too. Imagine a town of 1,600 residents having 28 violent 'incidents' (crimes, but since these are public school ganstas...) during what represents about half a year. That's quite a crime rate.

If I had to guess, I'd say they were beating on him for succeeding and acting white.

What is worse, attending a maximum security prison or an "inner city" high school?
