No hate crime charges or nothing done to the apathetic security and school administration. I bet the results of the "investigation" will reveal nothing.

City education officials are investigating the claims of a pair of boys from Oklahoma who moved to Brooklyn to experience diversity

Looks like they got some.

NYC has been threatened with subway bombings and these people are worried about a little hazing?

[AD from SpringBay]

Remember boys & girls - only straight, white, males can commit hate crimes. Everything else is just regular crime. That's how it's supposed to be. Just as Je$$e Jack$son.

who moved to Brooklyn to experience diversity

Sounds like a case of terminal liberalism to me.

Sloan was beaten mercilessly, called "cracker" and "white boy,"

It may be a bad picture, but those folks don't look particularly white to me.

We are quickly reaching the point when any parent who sends their child to a public school could be found guilty of negligence at least and abuse in most cases.

"Do I have to send the National Guard in to get my children an education?" asked the distraught mom."

Welcome to Diversity-ville, you moron.

[Alberta's Child]

. . . a pair of boys from Oklahoma who moved to Brooklyn to experience diversity . . .

OK, so you've seen your diversity. Now get your heads out of your @sses and move back to Oklahoma.

City education officials are investigating the claims of a pair of boys from Oklahoma who moved to Brooklyn to experience diversity, and instead say they got schooled in racism and violence.

The Surgeon General has determined that diversity may be hazardous to your health.

Eventually, the fedup mom went to nearby Elijah Stroud Middle School to transfer her sons there, but said the principal told her: "They'll have the same problem here."


Despite the principal's warning, Lisa agreed to send her boys to Elijah Stroud tomorrow.
"I'll make sure my kids are safe because it is the school system's job to make sure they are," she said.

No, it's your job to make sure they're safe. The principal just told you more or less not to expect much help from the school. Yeah, it sucks that it's a racist situation and the school isn't doing what it should, and it's not fair and all that, but these are your kids. Even if they don't get beat, it's still a hostile environment. Don't send them there!

[Leatherneck_MT]

Yep so much for "diversity"

The sent National Guard troops into schools in the South for the very same thing.

I would like to know why this isn't being done in a Yankee state.

Oh.. that's right. Yankee's can't be racists, only Southernors can.

[Mrs. Shawnlaw]

Isn't Oklahoma represented by several different indian tribes, hispanics, japanese/vietnamese (from the 80's) and of course the blacks who left the south?

Sounds more like her husband pressured them in to it. Nice to be back home ain't it?

[Ron in Acreage]

Inmates running the asylum. And being attended by future inmates also.

[Virginia Queen]

There is something very strange about this story. Did someone confuse the facts? Isn't racial intolerance something that only happens in the South? Aren't all New Yorkers big-hearted, accepting folks? Aren't Yankee kids raised better'n Southern ones?? Lawdy, lawdy me! What is this world comin to?
This mother takes the prize for STUPID and DERELICT - WRONGFULLY AND WILFULLY ENDANGERING HER CHILDREN.

"Do I have to send the National Guard in to get my children an education?" asked the distraught mom.

Well, seems to me that it has been done before. Somehow I don't think it would happen in this case.

The results of "wanting them to experience diversity". Guess that ain't such a good idea!

[lowbridge]

[StatenIsland]

"I would not send any child to a NYC public school. Period."

Hmm. I'm a product of NYC Public Schools; Brooklyn, as a matter of fact. So are my children. I guess we don't meet your standards. Or maybe we're just, I don't know...tougher?

Perhaps we should have minced our way out to the Sacred Heart Academy? Oh, well, too late now...

[pepperdog]

Sorry about what happened to the kids, but they should have stayed in Oklahoma. Mom should go to school, she could try teaching and experience "diversity" first hand rather than subjecting her children to physical danger. Mom sounds like a liberal dunce. Those children will live in fear until they are able to get out of there, hope it's soon.Very sad.

[GovernmentShrinker]

What the heck did she expect when she moved her kids to a city where their (non-custodial) social worker father "could more easily find work"? Cities where there are always plenty of jobs for social workers are cities where there are lots and lots of seriously screwed up people. And those people put their kids in the public schools, and the kids stay there no matter how criminal their behavior, because the loony-lefty social workers won't have it any other way!

[yessum]

Why would a new school administration allow racial abuse to occur on campus? That is ridiculous. Action should be taken against the school. I can't believe the principle would not even return the phone calls of a troubled mother. However, the parents should have taken their kids out of the situation before it escalated into daily abuse. What kind of parents would drop off their kids at a school every day where it was a known fact that they were being harrassed. I feel bad for the two little boys.

[Nam Vet]

I homeschooled by youngest through 8th grade. When I wanted him to experience 'diversity' , I beat him up and took his money.
