Have you ever had an argument with someone at school? Maybe it started between the two of you at lunch or in the schoolyard. At first, you yelled at each other. Later, you may have pushed and shoved each other.
Your friends thought you were right and took your side. Other students took the other side. Suddenly, schoolmates became enemies and a simple disagreement turned into a major conflict.

I'd like to know how many U.S. schools are using this crap.
I don’t remember any schoolyard fights turning into gang warfare. It was always between the two involved individuals and that’s it.
They don't shoot back, have sex with underage girls and make good targets?
You were probably lucky not to have had any racially charged incidents. Those can fester into bigger things. Not that this has anything to do with the U.N.
We only had 3 black kids in our school and they were adopted kids of a white family. Hispanic kids weren’t uncommon but that never seemed to bring about any racial issues.
Same here. And 90% of the time you were friends with your opponent a week later.
This is all we need. All anyone needs:

I dunno. We may wish we had kept the Peacekeepers (formerly called the MX missile).
Just sayin’....
95% of the fights I got into in school were with one of my two lifelong best friends. Those were pretty much forgotten in a matter of hours. We still get into some pretty heated arguments over things every once in a while.
I went to a rural school all my life and grew up with pretty much everybody there. We were pretty isolated so things needed to be settled pretty quickly.
