Must have been white kids.
668k? Wooly Bully!
She should contribute money to the reform school the boys are going to, in particular, to hire R. Lee Ermey as their “teacher.”
That sounds like the way the regular schools should work.
Justice done. Long overdue in the thousands of similar incidents nationwide. My heart still bleeds for the several children who have committed suicide as a result of bullying.
Thank God this woman has received tangible comfort from her fellow man. But school districts need to stop this from happening to the many, many others who are mistreated every day by bullies.
And, most certainly, not all of those bullied are gay, as their apologists would like everyone to think. I wager that the vast majority of victims are not.
“30,000 people have contributed from all 50 states”
What about the other 7 States? They must have been Blue States.
The discipline is correct but where are the personally written full page apologies?
This punishment is definitely too severe. Two or three weeks suspension and 40 hours of community service would have been more than sufficient. How many cases of equally bad or worse behavior could we find where almost no punishment was given?
Just another example of cowardly officials who are incapable of exercising good judgment, and who overreact to any public pressure.
I’m sorry, but this is just bizarre. A good whooping back behinfd te shed in the old days would have done more good and te kids would still have a life.
The kids wre cruel. Whodda thunk that could happen?
Calling it bullying is just a diversion.
The problem is godlessness.
Call it a reform school if you want, but it’s an alternative school, such as are currently available to many school districts in the U.S.
By the way, I believe the school district is going to have to pay to send the kids to the alternative school, since they are required by law to provide for their education unless they could successfully expel them, which would be far too harsh a penalty given the circumstances. Since you don’t save any money by having one or two less students in a classroom, the money to send them to the alternative school will come from the taxpayers, rather than from foregone expenses.
For that reason, the community service they’re required to perform should conceivably be something that saves the school money, like summer maintenance projects, or serving as scorekeepers at ball games, lining fields, cleaning under bleachers, etc.
Ms. Klein suffered, and is being compensated for it by donations. The school district is paying in terms of both money and administrative time, both of which detract from the regular business of the school. I’ll bet a couple hundred hours of administrative time has already been expended on this matter, with more to come. Current laws, both state and federal, tie public schools in knots that most people remain blissfully unaware of.
I would much rather attend reform school for a year than face what my parents would have given me.
“Reengagement Center.” (??)
Sounds like a term out of Atlas Shrugged or Orwell’s 1984!
This punishment just may save those little stinkers’ lives.
They won’t be bragging about it, unless THEY are now being touted as victims.
Let them hang their heads a good long while. I hope they learn their lesson.
Would that be a wake up call to other parents about the conduct of their kids?

Indiegogo is an international crowd funding site founded by Danae Ringelmann, Slava Rubin, and Eric Schell in 2008. Its headquarters are in San Francisco, California. As of 2012, it has hosted over 100,000 funding campaigns in areas such as music, charity, small business and film. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiegogo)
How do we know how much of that money this woman will be able to keep? Some how, Indiegogo has to make money. Will she be taxed on that kind of donation? A 670k pop of her AGI will put her in the top 0.5% — half that money will be soaked up in various income taxes.
Hope there is follow up on these kids. My guess is that they’ll be radical political or union operatives down the road.
Stay tuned.
