I spoke to some teachers from Stratford this weekend.

They thought the raid was perfectly appropriate. They told me the school can't do anything about their drug dealers. They can't suspend or punish them because they have rights. They can't find drugs on the dealers because they're just too cunning.

I was stunned speechless. I asked: You mean you CAN terrorize 107 random kids, force them to their knees at gun point but do nothing about known dealers?

They didn't have a problem with the raid. I can't believe they will be "teaching" kids about the Constitution and American History.

If you think they're bad, wait until some of the "lovers of freedom" around here show up to tell us that we're all just knee-jerking and, my personal favorite, "every one makes mistakes."

But they seem to be doing a wonderful job in teaching these kids to hate the american police and government.

"You mean you CAN terrorize 107 random kids"

I'd like to add 107 random, INNOCENT kids.

This raid netted nothing. Zero, zip, zilch, nada.

Unbelievable.

Chester Floyd, superintendent of Berkeley County schools, said Monday that neither McCrackin nor any district official knew police would come in with guns drawn.

"Had we known that the method of search had changed, the principal would not have requested the intervention," Floyd said. "However, once police are on campus, they are in charge."

This is BS I say a TV interview where the principle stated he thought this was all appropriate and say nothing wrong with the way it was carried out. PURE BULL.

I wish alot of you people here could come inside the public school system, even the one here in our city. It's been in "academic emergency" for a few years. Less than 50% of the kids enrolled attend.

They have found a way to get out of academic emergency by shipping all kids they can't handle to a warehouse, which is the school my wife works in; for two more days.

The kids there are only up to 8th grade. Most of them will end up in prison before they are 18. The police get sent there nearly every day and make arrests. They trouble kids can't be suspended. If they keep messing up at this school they go to the detention home for awhile.

I understand this inability to suspend kids has to do with the "no child left behind" program instituted by our Federal Government.

The schools are a complete joke. We were sent there last week on an 8 year old smoking pot. The school just had a convict come in and talk to kids. Then the kids went on the computer and pointed out their relatives who's mug shots are on line that are in prison.

Then the principal, George McCrackin, patted him down, checked his shoes and took out his wallet, asking him where he got the approximately $100 he was carrying, Sam said. The student said he told McCrackin he had just gotten paid at his job at KFC.

Since when is it a crime or any business of the police as to why someone has cash in thier pocket.
Why didn't they ask the principle where he got the cash that was in his pocket?

That teacher you spoke to was right, the schools can't do anything to these rotten kids to get them thrown out. You should see these kids screaming obscenities at the principal in the school my wife works at.

They can't even give them after school detentions LOL hahahahahahahahahahaha. They have in school suspensions. The one teacher gives them candy and popcorn when they have in school suspensions.

Your tax dollars at work.
