There’s probably more to this story — school officials, LEOs and news media are being coy.

Well, out here we have a genuine problem in many of the schools — there are stark divisions amongst some of the students and for some reason they think the next logical step is rioting.

Probably so. At least one of those schools has had a history of Hispanic versus black violence.

Anyone think it’s a bit odd that prisons and schools go into “lock down”?

Lets see what else do prisons and schools have in common.

metal detectors
xray machines
police dogs
barb wire fences
rampant drug use among inmates/students

Certainly, but the institutional solution is the cause of the problem to begin with.

Just wait and see what happens when these people realize they face an 85% (or higher) tax rate to support the Baby Boom generation and their various city, county, state and federal social engineering programs.

There are a lot of racial incidents in the country’s schools lately.

Someone is stirring things up.

Yes, it has been stirred up, but not by the election, or if so far in advance.

It was a year ago, that I posted on the race war in the California schools.

Remember the big race riot they had at one of them last spring?

I had also picked it up about a year ago, that it is more of the African teens being killed in the driveby shootings, with the Mexican teens pulling the trigger.

It was all over the news, if like you and I do, you visit the small town and also large towns for local news on the internet.

It is more than a turf war.
