That movie with Michelle Pfeiffer as an ex-Marine teaching in NYC actually occurred at Carlmont High School in Belmont, CA.
It is a very nice, expensive (read: White) area, but the savagery depicted in the movie was due to bussing in violent dullards from East Palo Alto.
They ruined that school. White student lives were destroyed (in that they were never educated and never reached their potential). Those ghetto students absolutely terrorized those white students and the faculty did nothing to protect them.
And any white student protecting himself or his own would be in worse trouble than the ferals.
