Expelling these stupid kids for this is way, way overkill.

Blaming whites for racial attacks they do not commit should be intolerable. Unlike people who point chicken fingers at someone and say "pow pow", or scouts who park near the school after returning from a camping trip with a hatchet in the car, what the people here did was deliberately intended to be hurtful to other people.

The sooner we can make clear that bearing false witness is a serious crime, the sooner we can end it. [nb: the Law of Moses specifies IIRC that those who bear false witness may be put to death; although the term as used there is more specific than "lying", I think it would be applicable in this case].

I disagree with you that you should treat these stupid 15 year old girls the same as you would treat a mature adult in the workforce of this same type of racial hoax. The reason we do not allow 15 year old girls to consent to having sex with mature adult men is becaus 15 year old girls by the very nature of their youth are still fairly ignorant and have much to learn of life. They are capable of some very stupid decisions. These girls are merely reflecting what they are being force-fed by the Jesse Jackson's of the world. Want to punish someone? Punish him for inciting the hoax.

The Mosaic law said of a false witness, "You shall do unto him as he sought to have done unto his brother." In short, if you lied in a capital trial, YOU got death.

Well, these gals, by their hoax, were creating a false accusation against whites. So we have to ask -- WHAT IF the notes had been real -- what if white kids were really responsible? What would have happend to those white kids? THAT is exactly what should happen to these girls.
