Teachers often make disparaging remarks about white people, Christians and stuff and never get beaten up.

The kid should be charged as an adult with felony assault. As for parents who think the violence was an “understandable” response to the perception that a comment had been racially insensitive, they should not be surprised when their violent children encounter people who do not tolerate unprovoked physical attacks.

Completely agree. The article makes it sound like there will only be school administrative action. I wouldn't be surprised if the teacher has been told to not press charges or his job will be at risk. The article also avoids whatever the remark was.

A member of the conquering class became a little obstreperous. After whites are totally relegated to victim status these incidents will not even be reported. At one time we could handle black assaults today they are praised and "understood."

Look at the environment Olosers create.
Whatever you do, don’t focus on education.
Focus instead on even a hint of racism.
That’s how we’ll get ahead as an ethnicity.

That is what I was thinking on the assault charge. But instead it sounds like everyone is rallying around the student for understandable violence. These are the same kind of people who perpetuate the Michael Brown, Trayvon, and so on heroism sagas.

Zero has encouraged this climate. That is the truth.

I’d love to know what the comment was.
Generally speaking, these days, “racially insensitive” means a totally innocent comment that could only be seen as “offensive” by someone twisting it to mean something totally different than what it obviously, actually meant.
A truly “racially insensitive” comment, like a harmless or joking positive or neutral stereotype about a minority would be labeled “racist”.
Anything vaguely resembling a truly “racist” comment would be called “hate speech”.
To: dennisw
If what the teacher said was something that a normal, objective person would consider offensive, it would be stated in the article.
That it isn't stated tells me that the teacher may have made a factual statement to a student who doesn't like facts.
Regardless, it is a felony assault, but I'm going to guess that the teacher's union told the teacher that he is on his own if he decides to press the matter.

Probably something like ‘niggardly.’

It will be a great day in America when a white school kid beats the living life out of a student of color who says the phrase “white privilege” or calls the white kid the “R” word - and the media and those who saw the incident take place say - “we understand the beating”.

Does it really matter? It was 'insensitive' is that not enough to beat the guy up to a bloody pulp?
and yes, I am being sarcastic
