The press release went out Wednesday (from what I gather on news.google.com).

Here is a report from Townhall.com.

Thanks for the link.

By the way, everyone seems to be assuming that the attackers were other first-graders. In none of the articles were their ages mentioned. They could be as old as 10 or so (5th-graders).

Mr Parker did not plan to have his son beat up when he began this fight. Let's not blame the victim here. When schools were being de-segegrated, black parents sent their children into dangerous situations too for a greater good.

It is unfortunate that this battle has to be fought but parents like the Parkers did not fire the first round. I don't know that I'd have the courage to make the kind of stand they did.
