Once, I took a job as a substitute teacher in a suburban, predominately white high school. The students could be classified as “white privilege” students. Add in the mandatory diversity population and you have your “typical” school.
The day before I started there, there had been a fight between two girls (one white, one black) that quickly got out of control. In all, 13 girls were arrested. In addition, each of the girls’ mother was arrested.
Here’s the worst part: the teachers were BRAGGING about needing 13 police cars to arrest the people involved. No shame at all.
You have to admit 13 police cars is pretty impressive for a silly school yard fight. The question I have is whether the police are overreacting or under reacting.
