DETROIT (WJBK) - A teenage girl is battered and beaten inside a Detroit school restroom while other girls watch and record the whole thing. However, this isn't the first time this girl has been assaulted at school. Her family says administrators know about the fighting and chose to look the other way.

School is supposed to be about reading, writing and arithmetic, but inside the walls of Detroit's Ludington Middle School a bathroom has been used as a backdrop for brutal teenage brawls.

It's a game called "30 Seconds," but no one is playing. One eighth grader pummels another while a group of girls stand by egging it on -- taping and timing it....

Detroit is 100% Democrat run and has been for decades. Is there any wonder that Detroit is slowly dying?

What’s next?

Three knifings? Or three gun shot wounds?

If I had kids, they’d be out of that school. I’d educate them at home, even if I had to quit working and go on welfare to do it.

Have you been there? It looks like a war zone now.

I haven’t been there in many years, but sometimes people post pictures here from hell holes such as Detroit, Camden, NJ, Gary, IN, E. St. Louis, IL, etc. And those pictures definitely show a war zone.

I’ve heard that some parts of Detroit have never been redeveloped after the riots of 1967. What does that tell you about how eager private investors are to go in there and create something positive in those neighborhoods?????

In Detroit, you would not have to bother with step 1.

My first preference, of course, would be to have them with me while I was working, so they could focus on education.

In their defense, school officials can point out that the game promotes numerical skills and also suggests that their students can count to 30. Sounds like some raises for district administration may be in order.

Our culture and public schools and some parents are raising kids in hedonism, so hedonism is what results.

In too many public schools the years K-12 are a prison term in some of the most godless, brutal institutions our earth has seen. There's kids there with promise and the potential for good, materially and spiritually, but they have got little chance in a world that too often is run by and for the service of the worst motives of a wicked world.

If you saw it lately from ground level you would probably assume the strike had already taken place.

I suppose one should be thankful they weren't flash mobbing the nearest 7-11. Or, maybe there is nothing left in Detroit worth the trouble of texting for a handy flash mob?

Hazing at FAMU, violent flash mobs, no one should be surprised. And they still complain about the the Klan and slavery.
