One picture appears to show a black girl in a purple jacket attacking a white girl. A mother pictured in the article, complaining about the violence, is white. Some of the incidents are "racially charged". If white students were attacking black students the races would likely be mentioned.

Since blacks commit violent crimes at far higher rates than other races, "equity" means tolerating instead of punishing and deterring that violence.

just more of the same old Media-Dem Party BS, let blacks lie, cheat, steal, commit violence, and claim that it’s all whitey’s fault for trying to suppress the natural urges of blacks.

That is because the kids are not the important ones in the school.

I taught in urban public schools for decades. And while we teachers were appalled by the violence, administrators took a different view. For them, it was all about public relations. Their approach:

Step 1: Ignore the violence.
Step 2: When pressed, issue a bland statement of concern.
Step 3: Go back to step 1.

By the way, suburban administrators are not that much different. They just have the advantage of less fights to begin with.
Better homes = less fights.

“Manhattan school plagued with violence...”

Bottom story of the day.

Ah, at last the problem comes into focus...in the 16th paragraph.

“That’s fine, but when there are no other consequences, things are going to happen,” said one mom. “If kids know they can get away with something, they do it.“

Same with bureaucrats and elected officials. No consequences, no change in behavior.

Some of the incidents between kids at Morton have been racially charged, Leak acknowledged in one email.

Black kids beating up white kids.

I’m enjoying Manhattan descending into chaos way more than I should.

[PGR88]

has neglected violent incidents and relied largely on restorative justice strategies to maintain order.

Whenever a word like "restorative justice" it used, you know its wrapping for a whole host of ridiculous leftist attitudes that will come with it.

We can guess at the story: Mainstreamed poor black kids from dysfunctional homes were put into a relatively high-performance school with middle class whites and asians. Disconnect, anger and violence result.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

“We are doing the hard work”

This, right here, these six words, are CRT speak.
