    An Oklahoma high school has apologized for hosting a vile 'toe-licking' challenge at a student fundraising event. Deer Creek High School in Edmond has admitted it 'failed to uphold the dignity of our students' over the grotesque competition held February 29. Outrageous videos of ninth through twelfth grade students licking other pupils' bare feet at the ticketed event called Clash of the Classes quickly went viral online. 'Through this specific game we failed to uphold the dignity of our students and the proud image of our community,' the school district said in a statement March 1. 'We have a responsibility...

    A Brooklyn school informed parents their children will be getting low-quality remote instruction to turn their school into a refugee camp.. emocrats’ open border is turning the entire United States into a refugee camp. The record-breaking numbers of foreigners allowed to break U.S. border laws are most heavily affecting large and sanctuary cities like New York City, but the numbers are so high they can’t help but affect cities across America as well. Yesterday, a Brooklyn high school informed parents their children will be getting low-quality remote instruction because their school is being turned into a refugee camp. The 4,000...

The unidentified student was pummeled by at least a half dozen teen thugs before he was picked up and hurled onto the pavement head first near the Parkland, Florida campus — leaving him sprawled out motionless on the ground, video footage posted by TMZ on Wednesday shows.

    Shocking new footage shows the moment a mass brawl broke out at a North Carolina high school, leaving one student dead and another in hospital.

The pair run into the school gymnasium, followed by dozens of whooping and cheering students filming on their phones. A brawl ensues, with one student on the ground pulling out a knife and stabbing another in the leg and groin. As the children fled, no one was on the ground....

    Hundreds of “radicalized” kids rampaged through the halls of a Queens high school this week for nearly two hours after they discovered a teacher had attended a pro-Israel rally — forcing the terrified educator to hide in a locked office as the teen mob tried to push its way into her classroom, The Post has learned. The mayhem at Hillcrest High School in Jamaica unfolded shortly after 11 a.m. Monday in what students called a pre-planned protest over the teacher’s Facebook profile photo showing her at a pro-Israel rally on Queens Oct. 9 holding a poster saying, “I stand with...

    BREAKING: The judge presiding over Trump's NYC trial appears to have a peculiar hobby of posting half-naked photos of himself on a high school alumni newsletter he controls as reported on by @MarcoPolo501c3 . The 74-year-old judge Arthur Engoron appeared to even post a "Bonus-Torso-Photo" in what looks like the bathroom of a gym. One set of images seems to be progress pictures. One picture of a frailer, malnourished male (assumed to be Judge Engoron) is labeled October 2020. Another picture, labeled August 2021, shows the same body, flexing excessively to try and show off his muscle gains.

    Oregon high school students won’t have to prove basic mastery of reading, writing or math to graduate from high school until at least 2029, the state Board of Education decided unanimously on Thursday, extending the pause on the controversial graduation requirement that began in 2020. The vote went against the desires of dozens of Oregonians who submitted public comments insisting the standards should be reinstated, including former Republican gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazan. Backlash against the lowered standard had already delayed the vote, originally slated to take place in September. Opponents argued that pausing the requirement devalues an Oregon diploma. Giving...

    High school students in several San Francisco Bay Area high schools staged a walkout on Wednesday in solidarity with the Palestinians — and with the Hamas terrorist group that attacked Israel on October 7, murdering over 1,400 Israelis. Video of the protest shows students chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which is a call for the destruction of Israel and the genocide of its Jewish population.

Details regarding the cause of death are not yet known, but the Windsor community is left mourning the loss of the 15-year-old, known to his teammates as “Big Texas,” reports CT Insider.

    An Idaho high school has come under fire after an image emerged of a group of students spelling out a vile racial slur on their T-shirts — while standing behind a mixed-race girl. A student at Salmon High School posted a since-deleted photo on Instagram of six children wearing shirts that spell out the n-word as they stand behind the girl as she lies on the ground, East Idaho News reported. All seven are also holding up the middle finger. School district Superintendent Troy Easterday said the students have been reprimanded over the offensive image. “The Salmon school district, we...

    BALTIMORE — The latest round of state test results is raising alarm in Baltimore City Schools. Project Baltimore found that 40% of Baltimore City high schools, where the state exam was given, did not have any students score proficient in math. Not one student. “This is educational homicide,” said Jason Rodriguez, deputy director of People Empowered by the Struggle, a Baltimore-based nonprofit. In 2021, the group held rallies calling on Baltimore City Schools CEO Dr. Sonja Santelises to resign over low test scores, falling graduation rates, and a lack of transparency. Now, after seeing what Project Baltimore discovered, Rodriguez is...

    Joe Biden’s appalling legacy of straight-up racism continued this week when he linked “African Americans and Hispanic workers” to those “without high school diplomas” in a speech Thursday. Naturally, the White House is covering this up. The text published by the White House after the event—and we know it’s after because His Fraudulency spoke off the cuff, and those words are part of the transcript—changes what Biden said. This is what Biden said: We’ve seen record lows in unemployment particularly — and I’ve focused on this my whole career — particularly for African Americans and Hispanic workers and veterans, you...

    A security guard was shot in the back of the head Saturday while trying to break up a fight during the final quarter of a high school football game in Utica.

A group of about a dozen people were brawling on the pavement when at least two shots rang out, video of the incident shows. One of the two security guards who had tried to separate the warring groups dropped to the ground after being struck by one...
