This tragedy has become a rohrschach test for people with an agenda. Personally, I think it's about illegal immigration. But I've seen it portrayed as a clarion call for School Choice, and now, for Father's Rights.
College-bound kids killed by an illegal immigrant. How is that a School Choice issue? How is it a Fatherhood issue?

College-bound kids killed by an illegal immigrant. How is that a School Choice issue? How is it a Fatherhood issue? (1) The ringleader of the murderers was an illegal immigrant. It looks like at least two of his accomplices were US citizens.
(2) The punks who accompanied him had no father at home and no discipline. They were underage kids drinking malt liquor and sticking people up in the wee hours.
(3) The school system that they were theoretically students of encourages kids like this to drop out and fall between the cracks, despite the efforts of activists to promote school choice to provide needed discipline for criminal teens.
These murders happened because many things are very wrong in Newark - illegal immigration was only one factor.

Perfect response.
