I don't know if he has kids, but I will bet that Rep.Weiner, sends his kids to private schools, can't have them be victims of the RiffRaff at Lafayette H.S. you know!

Have to admit I thought the ad was in terrible taste. Seems to me a young girl shot her classmate at a Catholic School in Williamsport, PA last year. Tragedies can strike anywhere and exploiting tragedy for the purpose of gaining new students is crass. Why didn't they promote their academic standings.
