1) Another reason to homeschool.

2) Gee! I wonder what the race of these verbally and physically abusive students might be?

3) Finally, what about the good kids who are forced by the government to associate with these punks? If they or their parents refuse, the government school bureaucrats will send armed police to the door. It is axiomatic. The First Amendment ( in this case freedom of assembly) and government schools are utterly and completely incompatible. It is not possible to have "administrative discipline" and First Amendment Rights.

Solution: Begin the process of completely privatizing universal K-12 education.
