Not really, when you consider that her surname sounds Jewish. The principal (and some of his students) should undergo some uncomfortable questioning.

I too wonder if there is a racial component. M.L. King Middle School? Hmmm. The girl's name looks Polish to me --she could be Jewish too, of course; but just being blond is enough put one in danger in some places. I'm a strawberry blonde and was once threatened with having my hair burnt off while walking in a mixed neighborhood in Chicago.

[Ludicrous]

My research indicates Yes.
The school is 5 to 1 Non-White to White ratio.
The principal is black.
I'm willing to bet the bully is black too.
So in a Black school, the Black principal will side with the Black (armed) bully and expel the White victim.

Lots of Polish Jewish families. This family name comes up in searches for Jewish connections.

She's white and might be Jewish in a school that is mostly Black and Hispanic (lots of Calypso Louie and Aztlan influence?). Not a good situation.
