In recent years, melees have broken out periodically at many campuses with a black and Latino presence, including in Los Angeles, Lynwood and Compton. There have been fights between Latinos and Armenians in other areas that led to campus lockdowns.

With an enrollment of 2,600, Locke is 65% Latino and 35% African American.

Gee, I wonder what the problem is. Heck, give `em amnesty. That'll fix it.

I'm glad to be out of SoCal. I don't want to be around when that ethnic volcano explodes.

You pulled the quote FTA I was going to pull. This isn't at all surprising. All anyone needs to do is watch the History Channel's "Gangland" series about modern gangs, especially the ethnic ones, Cosa Nostra generally not included. In California a mostly unrecognized race war has developed between the blacks and Hispanics, with Hispanics violently evicting blacks from formerly black neighborhoods. It was reflected politically in the DemonRat primaries when Hillary won in California with a huge majority of the Hispanic vote and almost none of the black vote. The same dynamic may hold true in the general election, where it will help McCain against Obama. The blacks and the browns are definitely not united.

We need to apply some innovative liberal solutions to this problem. But it might take some money.

1. Midnight basketball
2. Make condoms available on request
3. reduce classroom size
4. retrain teachers
5. team sensitivity teaching
6. more diversity training
7. expand school lunch subsidies

My money is on the Mexicans! If things go against them, they can call in the Mexican Army. I doubt the Feds would even respond when their Army comes in.

Did any of you attend a school that looked this much like a prison?

School population: 5% "other"...

Is this "affirmative action" brought to maturity?

This is a perfect example that “our diversity is our strength” is a lie, and a dangerous one at that. For many decades, this nation knew otherwise, if a nation can “know” anything. There are so few things that bind us to each other anymore.

With no evil whites there, why isn't it a wonderful paradise where everyone holds hands, respects each other, and is friends?

One way around this is “escorted classes”, in which entire classrooms of students are given the same classes for that year, then class times are staggered at 5 minute intervals.

Students arrive at a lockdown campus, and each group assembles at a different entrance, where a teacher is waiting. The students have a 10 minute window in which to assemble. Then the teacher escorts them to their first class.

It sounds very complicated, but it is less so if teachers are given timed pagers.

As an example, from 7:20am to 7:30am, four groups of students assemble at four entrances. Any students not of that group are not permitted on school grounds. At 7:30, each of the four groups are taken to the class taught by that teacher, for an hour. Then the 7:30am-7:40am four groups start to assemble at the entrances.

One hour later, the 7:20-7:30 classes are escorted by their 1st period classes to their 2nd period class, where their new teacher is waiting. The 1st period teachers then return to their classroom, to await the arrival of their next class.

It seems terribly complicated, but in practice it can be done efficiently. And while it is much like prison, in the long run, it can help keep students out of prison.

Perhaps they should change the name of Hobbs Hall to Hobbes Hall and make this passage from Leviathan required reading:

Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of war, where every man is enemy to every man, the same consequent to the time wherein men live without other security than what their own strength and their own invention shall furnish them withal. In such condition there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

Reading some Locke at Locke high school might also be useful.
