Eighteen students were arrested today in the second consecutive day of fighting at South Area High School No. 1 in Los Angeles after two groups of students faced off and yelled challenges at each other, authorities said.
The student body at the school, informally known as Santee High School, is more than 90 percent Latino while most of the rest are black. School officials deny that race is an issue at the school south of downtown, which opened this year to deal with the overcrowding at Jefferson High School.
Sixteen students were arrested Wednesday and 10 were hospitalized after school police pepper sprayed them, Monica Carazo of the Los Angeles Unified School District said.
Wednesday's brawl began with a fight between two black girls during the lunch break.
One student said students who had attended Jefferson High School were bored and wanted to stir things up at the new school.
About 100 students and parents attended a meeting tonight at the school and discussed ways to stop the violence.
Tookie needs to send them one of his childrens' books.
And fast.
Confining these losers in government gulags run by government morons seems so righteous on so many levels.
Something tells me the worst offenders -- let alone their parents -- weren't interested in attending.
Why can't they settle this like we did in the old days...
You been SERVED!!!

Aint diversity great?
Yeah, go ahead and be in denial. That way you don't have to address the problem.
Oh, dear... That brings up a terribly embarrassing memory of what this poster did in front of the future Surgeon-General of the United States.
California in 20 years = France
They always say that when white people aren't involved. It's never a race issue unless there are white people there.
Have they translated one?
This is a brand new school....doesnt even have a name yet!
And these 'students' are expected to learn ... what?
Well I hope the officers gave out some of those cool sticker style badges for the chilrins after they OC sprayed 'em. haha.
There are a large number of new schools in the area without names.... must be waiting for some Dems to croak to rename them.
Well I'm sure glad they built them a nice new fancy school so they can get down to learning. If they had been in that old overcrowded school they might be lashing out because of the terrible conditions. Spending more money sure worked well.
OTOH, what the hell do we know?
South Area High School No. 1, that name sounds like a good communist school in the good old USSR.
Next year they will name it Cesar Chavez High School.
