No elementary-school lunch recess on a warm sunny afternoon is supposed to turn out like this:
About 50 boys, all fourth- and fifth-graders, were outside, some shooting baskets, others playfully roughhousing, at the Julia Ward Howe Academic Plus Elementary School in Fern Rock.
But suddenly, seven to eight high-school students stormed into the yard swinging aluminum baseball bats at the children, said school district spokesman Fer-nando Gallard.
They hit and injured at least 10 boys, according to a note sent to parents from Howe Principal Doaquin R. Jessup.
"We don't understand what happened," Gallard said. "This is one of those unexplainable, outrageous incidents that just makes you shake your head."
Police said at least three of the Martin Luther King Jr. High students, whose names and ages were not provided, were arrested yesterday.

No...that’s oppression for “Hispanics”. It can’t be that they just picked up bats and started to beat kids. There must be something else...some underlying social problem caused by racism and oppression./s
Future Obama appointees....
“A woman who lives near the school and has a child who once attended Howe said word had spread from Howe teachers that the Martin Luther King students attacked the Howe pupils in retaliation for a previous fight between a teenage girl from Fern Rock and another girl who lives near or attends King.
The parent, who asked not to be named, said that girl sent the Martin Luther King boys to Howe because the Fern Rock girl has a younger brother who attends Howe.”
From what I looked up all involved would be black. The elem school is 98% black and almost all get free lunches.
“MLK Jr High”.....no mention of race or ethnicity .... must be Mennonites....
Did you notice the nice, huge picture of Nelson Mandela in the new visitor’s center? Made me want to hurl.
Well, at least those MLK studnets ain't gonna put up with no dissin'. That explains it all.
Or maybe future election day poll workers in Philly, just getting in a little practice before they assume those more important duties (with no fear of prosecution by Obama/Holder).
God out - Gang in!
Actually, “wilding” is not that new a phenomenon. The Central Park Jogger wilding rape and assault occurred in April of 1989.

I’m willing to bet those rabid little barbarians will spend the vast majority of their lives in prison and use most of that time trying to figure out a way to blame their self imposed misfortune on whitey.
Our nation's children need a K-12 education that **thoroughly** integrates Judeo Christian values throughout the entire school day. That means every course and all school policies. The best that any government school could do would be a lukewarm nod to prayer in the schools.
Can you see that your statement above implies that if prayer were replaced in our socialist-funded, socialist-modeled, single-payer, government schools than somehow our government schools and our society would be fixed?
I hope that I can persuade you that government schools can NOT be fixed. Government schools **from their very beginning** are the major cause of the cultural problems that our society suffers today.
1) From the very moment that socialist-funded, compulsory, single-payer government schools opened in the mid-1800s to early 1900s, children were offered a watered-down Christianity that could be accepted by the majority of the community's citizens. Hm?...What did Christ have to say about “lukewarm”?
2) Utopian progressive elites lobbied for government schools throughout the 1800s. Utopian progressive elites have **always** directed teacher training and curriculum development. The Utopian progressive elites have **always** pushed the edge of what the citizens will tolerate in the direction of secularism.
3) By the time I attended government school, in the early 1960s, I was subjected to a thoroughly secular curriculum. The worldview was utterly atheist! The two minutes of scripture and prayer in the morning homeroom class was like aiming a water pistol at a raging atheistic forest fire.
The solution:
SHUT DOWN the government schools! Government schools are the very essence and definition of SOCIALISM. Socialism **always** progresses ( like cancer) toward secularism, centralization, inefficiency, and Marxist control. It is INEVITABLE!
Conservatives must work toward seeing that every child in the U.S. receives a **thoroughly** conservative education that fully integrates Judeo Christian values into every part of the curriculum and school policies, and teaches the principles upon which our nation was founded.
Finally,...I spent 10 years in tuition-free Catholic schools, and my last two years in government high school. There is a VERY BIG DIFFERENCE between a thoroughly Christian education and a government school with 2 minutes of scripture and prayer in the morning. I will give a few examples:
1) Every subject ( on the hour) was introduced with prayer.
2) When we heard and ambulance, police, or fire siren, the class was stopped and we all prayed for the safety of all involved.
3) Even in our science and math classes ( at appropriate times) we were reminded that science helped reveal the wonder of God's creation and it was our **duty** before God to understand our world and universe to the best of our ability.
4) The philosophy, sayings, and writings of our church leaders were woven throughout our curriculum and textbooks.
5) Religious and and national holidays were celebrated with church services.
6) Every Friday afternoon during lent we attended the Stations of the Cross. We also celebrated major Holy Days with processions and attendance at church.
7) Students were encouraged ( but not required) to attend Mass before school.)
8) If a child or a parent or relative of a parent were sick, the entire school prayed for that person by name.
Do you get the idea? There is a very BIG difference between an education that **thoroughly** integrates a child's faith into his education and one that is essentially atheistic in its worldview with 2 minutes of prayer and scripture.
If we are to save our nation we must recognize the “demoralization” that the former KGB spy, Yuri Besmenov, warned us. Our nation is now nearly completely demoralized. We are very very very close to losing our freedom. WE MUST RE-MORALIZE OUR NATION!
One of the most effective ways to RE-moralize our nation is by SHUTTING DOWN every government K-12 school in the nation and seeing that every child in the nation has access to a PRIVATE school that thoroughly teaches Judeo Christian values and teaches the founding principles of our nation.
(Yes, I am shooting, jumping up and down, and waving my arms pointing to the danger. It is hard for me to see why so many conservatives are so blind and are doing nothing about re-moralizing our nation.)
Those German baptists are pretty tough.
What happened is liberals and their policies. That’s just cause and effect. It’s taken a years but look for more of it as the liberal/progressive’s gain even more power.
Uh...let me take a WILD guess!!
Wow!!! Very good point! Ah ha!...And the **same** pathology underlies both. Demoralization!
Yuri Besmenov warned us about “demoralization”.
Sadly, our nation is on the very edge of destruction. Yes, conservatives are now aroused about the legislative issue of the day, but consistently fail to see that we have a fundamental problem with demoralization! And..Conservatives consistently fail to do anything that would RE-moralize our nation.
Until we, as conservatives, address the problem of demoralization we are doomed to the following:
1) We will constantly be on the edge of disaster hacking away at the legislative trees of the day ( individual bills), while the Marxist grow forests ( corruption of the culture) all around us.
or..
2) Our nation will fall to the Marxists and the world will enter a centuries long Dark Age.
