I checked they did not mention the school but obviously they are of elementary school age, I am guessing around 7 or 8 years old.

you have any info on this. BOR would personally find the school principal and give them a beat down.

I laughed, I cried.

A good night out.

There’s nothing wrong with celebrating Sicilian culture.

Personally, I do find the over use of faux profanity distasteful. But that little mother fudger does a fudging awesome Al Pacino. I'd really like to see this group do something from Band of Brothers next.

My friend's son was expelled for a year for having a toy airsoft gun in the trunk of his car. I find it quite daring for a school anywhere to do something like this. I can remember having tons of toy gun fights growing up. Playing army, good guys and bad guys, and cowboys and Indians was what we did. When I was in school we were allowed to take toy guns on field trips to Fort Nisqually.

I am not quite sure what to think of this because it is now so far out of the ordinary. Kids are exposed to a lot more realistic violence on TV and in video games than my generation ever was. I doubt whether performing in the play itself has damaged their little psyches more than the average kid already has been. To me it sounds like the kids were receiving a lot of encouragement and support from the audience.

Obviously this was not something that was done without the support of parents and teachers. There might be more to this than what little we are seeing in this short video. Possibly lessons concerning violence were included along with the drama to help the kids understand that the movies are make believe and that the life styles portrayed are wrong. Who knows? But it is a free country and I am amazed to see that there is at least one school in the country unafraid to be completely politically incorrect. I'd rather see the kids doing this than singing another Obama youth song.

Too many young Cubans believe the movie....sad on many levels but if they knew that the Cubans in general at the time were used by the various drug kings in S Florida as just drivers and floor sweepers they might change thier attitude.
S.Florida was controled byt the so called “redneck mafia” and the NYC big boys and by a certain Colombian woman named Blanca. Cubans at the time were just goffers working for little more than tips.

Blanca at one time becaame the dominant drug ruler for a short time....the feds brought the whole thing down.
