I lived in the City of Evil for about 5 years, in the 70s.

I never EVER EVER recall hearing about ANY violence in the local schools.

I am so glad that after decades of liberal ministrations, they are now up to NYC standards.

I lived in the City of Evil for about 5 years, in the 70s. I never EVER EVER recall hearing about ANY violence in the local schools.

I grew up in Ithaca and I can tell you that there were plenty of young thugs who even in junior high school were incipient criminals destined to rapidly end up in prison. I guess they didn't actually attack the teachers back them though.

I will say that there were a lot of very nice people in Ithaca so despite the crazies I don't call it the City of Evil myself.
