Some people simply do not know how to apply disciplinary measures when the situation calls for it. The school administrators considered this to be a "time out", instead of the juvenile crime that it was.
The young girl was CLEARLY the victim of unwanted sexual attention, an event that would have resulted in the firing or civil suit against an adult engaged in similar bad behavior. Since no adults are involved here at the level of the infraction, it falls on those who are in authority as "in loco parentis".
The school authorities were plainly dodging their collective duty.
Liberal democrats and the teachers unions have transformed the public school system into nothing more than a warehouse for little gangsters who worship Snoop Dog and Fifty Cent but don't have a clue who Thomas Jefferson or Benjamen Franklin were.
During what time period, I wonder? Monthly, annually, since 1990?
Not that I disagree with her general point (my kids don't go to schoo :-), but this was clearly edited in haste.
I agree with your assessment of the editing of this - and I agree with Malkin's premise - and my child is in public school.
Another fine example of the money pit called public education...
Yet I suspect this same school administration rigidly enforces "zero tolerance" policies regarding drugs and "weapons" to the point where an honor student using a pen knife to clean violin strings would be expelled, smeared, and referred to the police. Liberalism is rot. They wallow in orgiastic pleasure when they make and ruthlessly enforce asinine rules against the law abiding, but consistently refuse to use appropriate discipline and penalties against the real thugs and criminals.
You won't get an argument from me on that.
MAY face charges?
Please, these children were only engaged in extra-curricular sex education experiments. This is not the henious case of a boy scout leader bringing a camping axe to school in his truck and leaving it there, a truly horrible crime deserving the severerst possible punishment under the school's "zero tolerance" policy for "weapons."
This young girl was raped, raped and humiliated while in the charge of her school.
Pretty damned sad that this is trivialized with lessening terms. Pretty damn sad. Its past time that people start holding those accountable, accountable for their actions or lack of actions. I support the father starting his vengance with a baseball bat and moving up from there.
What if this were your daughter?
Somehow I didn't catch the reaction of any NOW representative. Of course, this doesn't compare to the ignominy of Bob Packwood tongue kissing an adult employee twenty years ago. Then again, that was before the Age of Clinton. Now we know that these acts don't constitute sex.
Parents who let this happen to their daughter while under their supervision would be in jail, and probably never see their children again. These school employees just get to shrug ... and the chance of real consequences for the perps - hah!
I believe I would have given them a reason to call 911 after I started to open up a can of whoop ass on some of those administrators, beginning with that bozo who asked the dad not to use 911.
It seems to me in this particular case the father did no wrong - he is the one that did the job the school administrators failed to do.
When an article about this first appeared my 4 word response was "Lock'em all up".........the administrators and the youthful perps.
That's the purpose of zero tolerance. An A student with a small, harmless incident is easier to punish and use as an example than some ghetto head whose parents will sue just to get some pocket change.
yes, of course. the children were only 'acting out' symbolic reparations for the oppressed plight of all minorities throughout the world throughout history.
clearly the media induced uproar is a transparent attempt by the Bush administration to silence the Black community.
I think we can all agree the child with the video recorder and the little child accused by the special education student are the real victims here.

What? The school system is not required to report crimes? I wonder how that particular loophole got into the law. You can be sure that anyone in a private organization who covered up violent crimes would be in deep trouble.
