Read more about this group in this PDF. It's too bad they go from being effed over back in Somalia as members of a persecuted minority, experience the same in refugee camps, and then come to one of the most advanced nations on earth and get effed over here as well.

well i have another one for you ...Dekalb County in metro Atlanta is where 95% of the African immmigrants are settleld. There’s an inordinate number of apt fires there because of cooking in strange places. But the most amazing story I was told was from a social worker who was in charge of resettlement of some of the central Africans who have never driven a car, or had indoor plumbing or refrigerators. Basically they lived in tents and hunted with spears - this is true. One day the social worker got a call from the apt manager (where social service s placed these folks) and asked her to come over because they had a big problem. When the SW arrived the manager told her the family called because of a problem in the bathroom. When the plumber arrived, he found the bathtub filled to the brim with excrement and they wanted it emptied. I don’t know the end of the story.

For some reason that reminded me of the Swami Prakalasa in All of Me.

I see that the White students were suspended for putting marks of ink on paper, while the non-Whites were forgiven for their physical assault on the Whites.

If something even close to freedom of speech was allowed in schools - the Muslim students would learn that they have a right to "answer with words".

Instead, the lessen is "you speak, we beat you up"... I guess they've made our country more like the one they escaped... which seems to be a pattern.
