***Four of the six girls facing expulsion are from the Turner Middle School, at 59th Street and Baltimore Avenue, in West Philadelphia, where a group of girls who self identify as "dykes taking over" have allegedly sexually harassed other girls. ***

"persistently dangerous" - School-safety rankings - or just black marks?*** ***But national statistics of school crime, say experts, seem to indicate that more schools should qualify for the classification. In 2000, 72 of every 1,000 students ages 12 through 18 reported being victims of crimes at school. The average far exceeds most states' requirements for a dangerous school.

At the heart of the discrepancy may well be a reluctance on the part of educators to report campus crime fully. A survey by the National Association of School Resource Officers found that 89 percent of school police believe crime is already underreported. "It's the scarlet letter in education today," says Mr. Trump. "Administrators have said to me privately that they would rather be academically failing than be a dangerous school." ***

This behavior, I know from a first hand report of a 7th grade girl, is tantamount to gang warfare.

The young lady said she has been given two choices: join them or be sexually assaulted daily by them.

Of course, she now knows that she needs to convince adults to help her, BUT, she is leaning towards giving into them because it would be a "social disaster" for her if she does not.
