New Katrina students involved in High School fight

[Razorguns]

no. makes me even sadder that someone made a news item out of it.

"with three teenagers hospitalized and five under arrest Tuesday"

Read-above: This was not just a simple little high school fight. This was a full-on violent brawl. Police were called. Ambulances were called. People were arrested. People went to hospitals.

Only the introduction of ghetto trash can start introducing stuff that is quite common-place and the norm in inner-city schools in suburbia.

Soon this school will have metal detectors.

The placement of Katrina refugees will soon be met with a "Not in my backyard" from the middle-class.

Because they were "victims", if you're a CNN watcher -- and if it was any other victims (eg: 9/11, Andrew, etc.) -- they'd be welcomed with open arms by the students and treated like royalty.
Except here, they're already involved in full-on fights. Wanna tell the class why?

I doubt this is the only fight that has occured. I'm sure a similar fight happened (involving "Katrina" students or not) at another high school and was not picked up on the AP wire. Unfortunately, some high school students don't give damn and could careless about anyone else's situation (they're teenagers). Its high school, do you think they would be given a grace period before a few got picked on??

All I see in the article is "displaced N.O. students got in a fight with other students." Nothing about the demographics of the school, nothing about the demographics of the school district, nothing about the school's location (surburbs vs. city), nothing about the income or race of the students that started the fight, nothing about what caused the fight (other than the can throwing incident - who knows what took place before), etc. It could have been over a girl for all I know.

That said, not enough info to come up with a conclusion.

Kids getting into brawls, getting arrested, being sent to hospitals -- is common-place in schools where you live? Damn remind me to live in your neighborhoods.

Continue wearing the blinders to life there. btw: There's no violence in the US. Just people calling out for help in their own unique ways.

Did anyone miss the part about the fight being started by a Houston student who through a coke can at the N.O. students?

that's fucking bullshit too
my family moved me into a very prestigeous neighborhood at age 15
Mt Brook high school ,which you may have noticed because of the near 24/7 coverage of Natalee Holloway being murdered is no typical high school
while there I had to fight maybe 6 fights to just maintain
I was a "chess club" kind of guy,though I had moved from football to soccer
It's kind of rough to be 14 and the other guys are15 just because you started school earlier up northr

Um, I don't have time to follow the local high school reports. BTW, I live in Northern Virginia, you can look up the stats of that region on your own. Its pretty impressive. That said, I'm very happy where I live.

Where did I imply that there is no violence in the U.S.? You have your platform, fine. But, please don't try to infer what I believe and don't believe.

another thread with racist undertones.

That hurled soft drank probably landed on a hair weave that took 4 hours to make, thus the ensuing chaos.

Irrelevent who started it.

If there were no brawls involving arrests and hospitalizations in recent history at the school...

and there's one within 1 week of the "new" students arriving at the school:

What clear conclusion can we make?

One set of students are _incompatbile_ with another set of students.

Maybe it's the current students way of telling the new students, we don't want you here. Who knows. But the reality is there.

For another exmaple: look at la. Non-stop riots involving blacks vs mexicans. It's so common-place, it's not even reported anymore.

Once again, another clear failiure of the public school system : Putting people of different class levels all into one happy little place so they can all get along so happily. Except this was forced via some feel-good Katrina aftermath.

So yep .. that integration is working out well. There's a reason why parents put kids in schools where these types of students are conveniently absent.

For some real comedy -- they should put these students, at tax-dollar expense -- into private schools.
