The video went viral, the school district was embarrassed, the parents either don’t care or are stupid to allow such a placement offer to stand. These kids will now have a classification, and resulting EIP, determined to be severely emotionally impaired. Becuase this is a government entity, good luck ever getting that expunged from their records. Shame on the parents. Big difference between “emotionally disturbed” and being a freaking big mouth brat.
Can’t whip them at all today in most places, which would have been a very quick answer, but at the least it ought to have entailed a lot of community service before letting the bullies back to school.
The whole scene was a production for the video. A copycat of the rap star beating videos on the internet. I would say conspiring to do that makes them severely emotionally disturbed. Continuation school or whatever they call it there is well deserved.
