LOS ANGELES -- Four people were arrested Friday after a fight involving more than 400 teens broke out at a South Los Angeles high school, resulting in a campus lockdown, officials said.

There are so many reasons to homeschool. What I’m hard-pressed to find is a reason to use public schools.

[Frank_2001]

Who won?;)
Were they “fighting” to get into Harvard?/s;)

[LibWhacker]

600 teens involved in the fight and no one hospitalized??? What kind of fighting is that?

[JoeSixPack1]

What kind of fighting is that?

When the uninsured fight........

Food? Hard to hurt someone with pasta! ;-)

[Califreak]

Is it convention night already?

[Arkansas Toothpick]

Hey, they’re just practicing for life after high school. You never know when another Rodney King-esque beatdown might happen.

[expatpat]

Blacks v chicanos?

[bboop]

Lord of the Flies.

[umgud]

Our schools are failing. Quick........ send more money.

Nachum Shifren, known as the "Surfing Rabbi," taught Spanish in South LA public high schools and tried to get his students to do scholarly and academic work. To read more about his adventures, surf over to Kill Your Teacher.com.

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. 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.

Sounds like a big Mexican vs Black kids fight. No different than what happens on the streets around there.

[PGalt]

Interesting. Thanks for posting. Humorous & serious FReeper comments BUMP!

[Alright_on_the_LeftCoast]

Instead of a lockdown, they should have had a lockin and let these animals kill each other, do society a favor.....nothing but gangs, drug dealers and illegals. I’ll mark it with /sarc so as not to offend anyone, but I must say, my heart isn’t in it...!!!!

[PGalt]

WOOOOOHOOOOO! Belated WELCOME ABOARD! How did Marine boot camp go?

I’ve recently become familiar with some of Bastiat’s work thanks to a link provided some time ago by FReeper raygun.

OUTSTANDING STUFF! From my limited knowledge consider me another Bastiat_Fan.

yes i actually started to watch that for 2 min

then realized the lady reporting is not that smart

and had to turn it off

[tenger]

Actually they’re just practicing for when Obama loses in November. Or if he wins, it’s something to celebrate about, ala Chicago after a Bulls championship back in the day.

[Brad's Gramma]

Bumping that link! Thanks!!!!

Historically Locke has been a black high school. There are probably Mexicans that have moved into the area. So I would suspect it was between the Chicano’s and the Black’s.

[HardStarboard]

I'm confident that the problem could be resolved by greater funding of public schools by the taxpayers.

These impoverished students, on whom only $9,500 is being spent each year - on each student, don't have any incentive to develop any interests so they turn to fighting.

arrrghh.

[Lancey Howard]

“Lockdown”, LOL!
Most of these inner-city schools are little more than holding pens anyway, so naturally the language used will be typical prison lingo.

[Kozak]

Food? Hard to hurt someone with pasta!

in the LA schools more likely it was tortillas being launched.

[blam]

Ah...kids will be kids.

[Lancey Howard]

So I would suspect it was between the Chicano’s and the Black’s.

Yeah, according to the kid/witness interviewed in that TV news report (post #18) it was a brawl between "the blacks and the browns".

[machenation]

Forgive my being scared.
John Titor of coast to coast fame predicted, in either 1998 or 2000, that 2008 will have a civil war and 2009 will see a woman president and 2014 a nuclear attack on every major city on the east coast.
What will people do if gas and heating oil go above $10 ?

[Joe Boucher]

Democrats and liberals.

[DGHoodini]

Ah yes....The spawn and p[roducts of Liberal parents and 40 years of liberal education.

[Loud Mime]

There's more in the Los Angeles Times

It was blacks v. latinos.

[Loud Mime]

I live in S Cal. Even in my area I'm seeing a degradation of students and courtesy. Now, since I don't like Obama, I'm the racist.

Maybe Charlie Manson was right about a race war being imminent. There's more gang graffiti here than ever before and we now have a national setting for more fights.

Despite the levity of this thread, this is serious business.

[FreedomPoster]

That would have to be my guess.

Charlie Manson was exposed to Black Liberation theology in its early stages via the prison system, long before he arrived at the Canyon.

[Loud Mime]

was exposed to Black Liberation theology in its early stages via the prison system

I am wondering what Charlie learned and how he learned it; how the instructions were "given." With his prediction, I doubt if it was good.

While I think Charlie Manson was affected by his multiple experiences in jail, I suspect he found his "calling" due his involvement with a group called "The Process" (Robert DeGrimston).

Here's a link; it's compressed data (mostly comes across as "garbled" to anyone not aware of what was going on in CA during the 60s:

The Process

The Process did this strange mix of religion and politics.

And while in CA during the 60s and 70s, the most common phrased used by neo-liberals was... It's All About the Process....

[Loud Mime]

Well, that’s a strange way to start a Saturday morning!

Thanks for the link; I’ll read all of it by Monday.

[Bastiat_Fan]

lol, actually, thats old, my original plan was for January, but my med stuff was screwed up, and my MOS wasn’t available til May cause I missed the first session. I actually leave tomorrow for basic. Took a loooong time to get here, and yet it somehow snuck up on me. So hopefully, my answer will be “really good”, but we’ll see.

[Bastiat_Fan]

Oh, and as for Bastiat, I first got turned on to him by my Political Economy professor, and after reading The Law, i became a convert. That anyone could explain his ideas so well and in such a concise manner is amazing to me.

[sheik yerbouty]

look at the great effect it had on him..

[Alia]

And strange it was for me to be digging for a link to explain Charlie Manson on a very fine Saturay morning, and the bizarre influences seizing the once great state of CA.

Should read “Obama supporters look to the future”

[Loud Mime]

point taken. Sorry.

[Alia]

Not at all. I stopped thinking about Charlie Manson and The Process as soon as my feet hit the hiking trail on that fine Saturday morning. Cheers! :)
