School administrators who do nothing to stop bullying in school are responsible for these types of problems.

A number of offenses (hangman's noose (warning not to sit in a certain place) and a physical attack on the youngster being held/tried were committed by the student who subsequently was beaten.

Had the administrator (principal) handled the earlier offenses without prejudice, this would have been nipped in the bud.

The kid that was beat had NOTHING to do with the nooses. A fight broke out in the cafeteria and the boy was sucker punched from behind causing him to hit the ground where they kicked him in the head while he was down.

I live in Georgia, they were trying to hold a demonstration at my sons school, have everyone wear black shirts if you are against racism. I hit the roof. I asked my kids what they knew about the situation and they gave me a very biased account. I made them look up what had happened to get other sources of the information besides just what was being told to them. We debated the situation for quite a while, needless to say they did not wear the black to school. It actually turned into a good learning experience for them. I don’t have a problem with my kids learning to stand up for things, I do however want them to learn that before jumping on any bandwagon, get the facts.

You are wrong. The boy who was attacked and kicked in the head while unconscious did not hang the noose in the tree. The three boys who did hang the nooses were temporarily expelled, and one dropped out of school, another moved, and the third, a special education student, graduated.
There was NO justification for a gang to viciously attack the boy entering the school with his girlfriend.
If that had been my son, I would have filed attempted homicide charges, and they all would still be sitting in jail, msm or not.
Incidentally, every middle and high school in the USA ought to be fully covered by surveilance cameras. If you can’t afford that these days, you’d better close the school. Video tape would have told the tale here, and that’s the first thing Jena’s school board should approve after the race baiters and aging hippies leave town.

I have found nothing stating that the kid who wa beaten did anything, except guilty of being white.

Please give some type of reference that can be checked out for your statement that the guy was guilty of involvement in the noose incident.

If you can not find any reference please explain the basis of your accusations.

Thank you.

Quit repeating lies.
