I guess all those no-tolerance policies only apply to really dangerous things like aspirin and plastic forks.
It's absolutely rediculuous. It even sounds like she wants to learn; schools don't get that often so they shouldn't tell her to go home. Also, the Zero Tolerance policy is gay. Shouldn't exist.
btw, LMAOROFLLOL
okay, it wasn't that funny, but it's true, which makes it that funny
This is crazy! The attacker is gettiun g treated like a victim. Where is the outrage. Where is Mike Rosen?!
Or a drawing of a gun.
If this happened to a child of mine there would be arrests made even if it was only me.
now if he pulled out a bible instead of a knife!
Poor kid. There is simply no excuse for this.
And fingers pointing like a gun....unbelievable
so the kid will be further punished by having to go to summer school
Ping!
The principal has now admitted her staff did not call police, did not interview potential witnesses, and did not conduct a proper investigation.
Only the bizarro world of education tolerates this level of willful disregard.
An unrelated thought: does the administration at M.L. King Middle School punish anyone who plagiarizes?
My first reaction was this is unbelievable. Then I realized, sadly, that it isn't.
I think the rule for avoiding danger by steering clear of any M. L. King Blvd in large metro US cities probably applies to any school named ML King as well.
The name "Martin Luther King" applied to a street or a school is a thinly veiled warning that non-minority individuals are not tolerated there.
"I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Done. Dream realized.
I'm glad she does "real good in school" and I hope she gets to go back and "take her education."
From her quotes, it seems she has a way to go in that regard.
(But that does not mean she should be set on fire.)
Sadly, I wonder if this blond-haired, disabled girl had a prayer in that school. The administration knew that a girl had her hair set on fire, and yet didn't interview a single person to find out what happened? That's incredible, even by public school standards.
Who cares what happens to a honky? </sarcasm>
