Williams, over here. The attackers need someone to defend them.
I think the special needs kid tried to beat them up, but the video just doesn’t show it.
Media Meme alert. Very predictable outrage generation method ahead. Expect more of same until the “Sheeple” demand The Federal Government Do Something About It.
Then rinse and repeat.
Well, the bully is a “protected class” don’t’cha know?
It seems pretty obvious that the principal who handled this was choosing his battles carefully. If he had expelled the attackers, a bunch of “community leaders” would have been marching, and Al Sharpton would have come to town to support them. All the special-needs kid has going for him is the dim threat of a federal injunction. When the school superintendent was asked about the matter, he chuckled that he was through with it—meaning that he had saved his own job and those of his underlings. Balancing interest groups to stay afloat is what public education is about these days. Anyone who doesn’t like it can go elsewhere, but (unfortunately) they can’t take their school taxes with them.
Can anyone tell me where this happened?
This is just sad. Of all the reasons to homeschool, it’s one of the better ones, isn’t it?
I guarantee the perp & his buddies play sports for the school, explaining the light punishment & the refusal of police to arrest them.
I grew up in such a town. The jocks get away with “murder”. Nothing is more important to towns like these than a winning season.
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.

Craig Rivera was visibly moved interviewing him and his father. He tried to get an interview with the school principal, but got stonewalled by the school secretary.
I saw on another thread that Megyn Kelly had this on her show this morning.
Why the heck is this boy is this school? Parents are either idiots or cruel. “My child HAS to be in this public school. Why? Because... that is what we are supposed to do. Right?” IDIOTS.
There are a lot of parents with kids, special needs or maybe just timid, whose kids are being abused at the school, and the parent wrings her hands, talks to the child, but drives him there the next day. Just “because.”
THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES, people!
My son with autism told me, when he was in 3rd grade, that he played a fun game with the kids in his class. They took his things, and he would get upset, and isn’t that a great game? That was his last year at school (and it was a private religious school too). He was homeschooled forever after.
A lot has changed since I was a kid. Had this happened back then, the puncher would have been labeled a wussy for having attacked a defenseless kid. He then would have been pulverized by those whom the bully wouldn’t have dared attack.
It’s scary what has become of our society.
First off the 10 year old autistic teenager, spoke better then the majority that attend there, including the teachers.
Secondly, the only autism shown was that of the police department. (bet you one of those bullies father works for them)
Finally, I believe the parents of any child that is bullied, needs to adopt, their own zero tolerance. For example, removing those that turn a cowardly and blind eye....”administrators” are you paying attention!!!
Fired with no golden parachute.
Okay my rant is over
That is assault and it is a crime.
What is sickening is that this bullying program nonsense will be used by socialists to encourage and protect the right kind of bullying.
