As the younger generation would put it, public education sucks.

"A crowd of six to 10 classmates...in Newark, Ohio..."

Note to self: When founding a town or city, never name it "Newark." No good seems to ever come of it.

Peer pressure extreme.

But it’s not a hate-crime. Nope, couldn’t be.

At least one of the kids did the right thing in sending the girl the video, even though it took two months to do it.

Insane Clown Posse shirts....ok. Religious shirts....not ok because they might cause conflict.

Sooner or later Insane Clown Posse is going to have an incitement or RICO problem. I am sure they have a lot of lawyers, but you can see that coming a mile away.

She had a cell phone - call the police.
What the hell is wrong with her boyfriend that he let this harassment continue - she needs a man upped boyfriend, get rid of the wimp.

There are schools sooooo toxic that it would be better for the child NEVER to attend. This is true even if they received NO education at all!

I seriously mean it!

It would be better for them to be illiterate and innumerate than to every step even one toe in these cesspools of government education. The school in this article is one of the many.

Is this the wonderful “socialization” that homeschoolers are missing? ( Just wondering.)

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL!

( Yes, I am shouting. Conservatives are deaf, dumb, and blind.)

Do the kids who abused this girl and her friends have parents that care?

It all started because Alexis Xanders doesn't like Insane Clown Posse.

Though it has nothing to do with this thread, I found this interesting because I referred to this very band yesterday.

When describing the leftist majority in congress and Obama's thugs to a friend, I described them as "The Insane Clown Posse."

Why are they blurring everything out? Is that supposed to be "protecting the innocent?" Put all their faces on big screens and let people see it. Let them be the objects of ridicule. Expose each and every one of them. Highlight their bad behavior.

But I was told juggalos were peaceful!

Hate crime?
Oh wait, she’s a white woman.

Sorry, nothing to see here... move on...

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

When I was in grade school (1960’s) and watched adults ignore bullying I swore to myself that as an adult I would step in if I saw it. I have.

I was in the international district in Seattle taking a break on a bike ride when a 14 or 15 year old asian kid came running around a corner as fast as he could. About ten others soon rounded the corner right behind him. They caught him in a parking lot and started pummeling and kicking the kid. There were lots of people around and they all just ignored it except for me and a taxi driver. We were pulling kids off as mayhem went on deep in the group. We finally stopped it but by then the kid was pretty bloody.

Usually it is more like what happened in this video though. If I had been in one of the cars I would have stopped, got out, and asked the group what was going on. They would have lied but the bullying would have ended because I would have ensured that they broke up.

What a bunch of little scum bag juggalo punks
