I applaud the kids waiting until after classes on a Friday, so that no instruction time was lost.

Begin your thoughts by assuming the dead were criminals

That fourteen and fifteen year olds are growing up in a culture that makes them cynical, robs them of innocent youth, and encourages them to become criminals is tragic.

In related news, 1,770 students at Benito Juarez Community Academy were not killed today. So in the bigger picture, it was a good day.

Every time one of these mass shootings goes off, usually at a very convenient time, I think of that. It’s like every time the democRATs need a mass shooting to help push for ‘gun control’ or distract from something all they have to do is pick up the phone ...

Gunman? -- for this high school, named for a Mexican president and which celebrates Mexican and not U.S. culture, it was a "pistolero."

Here's the school's "performance profile" from USNews rankings:

Took at Least One AP® Exam: 24%
Passed at Least One AP® Exam: 1%
Mathematics Proficiency: 3%
Reading Proficiency: 9%
Science Proficiency: 10%
Graduation Rate: 85%

To fix our high schools we need to match those proficiency numbers with the graduation rates. Until then, all we have are holding pens for society's dregs.

But, heh, it’s better than a nearby school, “Chicago Technology Academy,” with a scorecard reading:

Mathematics Proficiency: 0%
Reading Proficiency: 4%
Science Proficiency: 2%
Graduation Rate: 100%

>>>Donte & Tyrell did it.>>>

I Know that. But it’s whitey’s fault that Donte and Tyrell turned out so bad. Whitey is the cause of everything bad in the world.
