Afraid not. This myth has been debunked. Two first graders, both friends...and apparently still friends.
Actually the debunking has been repeatedly debunked YET keeps on attempting to rebunk itself...
It is all a matter of persecutive -those on the left attempt to debunk that which they consider bunk on the right and those on the right attempt to debunk that which they consider bunk on the left.
Implicit in your premise is the fact that the information coming from the right is presumed bunk while the information from the leftists is embraced hook line and sinker... very odd, very odd indeedy...
I have to agree with you, there were probably 7 other boys watching. Playground fights tend to attract a crowd. With 3 boys, I have pulled the boys and their friends off each other on numerous occasions, once they cool off they get back to playing.
When I was in school the bullies usually denied bullying anyone. Maybe they had honest bullies where you grew up.
MYTH??? MYTH??... in this very sentence you mislead, You say it was two first graders, but yet very conveniently leave out the part that he was admittly lead to the place of his beating by another child (who probable held his hands while he was beaten). Also you conveniently leave out the part that a crowd was there for it, and you quote these very facts in your other posts (from the other thread), so it is not like you don't know this. So we are to believe that this kid was only hit 2-4 times and a crowd gathers. Since this is a "myth" explain to the good folks just how a crowd forms in only 2 seconds, and also tell us, if the child is knocked down, he was not hurt.
I don't know what they mean about this play date. Does that infer that they went home together, or did something at school together, I am not sure.
See post 295 where I go into more details. This article also conveniently leaves out some major points. See how the stories of the school has changed over time. See for yourself other information like the lady (Soens) who runs a couple of web sites (lexingtoncares.org and www.respectingdifferences.org) is for the homosexual agenda and what Parker is against. Don't tell me that they don't have big time lawyers helping them with this.
BTW.. you can see a picture of Soens during her marriage to another lady Celia d’Oliveira here -------->

Want to know their agenda in their own words???
