[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, the kids who committed this terrible attack should be punished, but they should also be given the opportunity to make amends.  They should go through the criminal justice system and face juvenile charges, perhaps even spend some time in a juvenile detention facility — which will likely have a VERY DETERRENT effect.  They shouldn’t be transferred to another school, but should be allowed to stay in their current school where everyone knows who they are and what they did. They should be made to engage in public service that will hopefully begin to rehabilitate them.  They should be allowed top grow and change, because ultimately they are still kids and we would all benefit it they could become better people, because right now they are pretty deplorable.

Also, all of us who are parents should also take stock of our kids.  We all think that our children are angels — and they are! — but they are also human.  Let’s not only teach our kids what to do if they are victimized, or if they witness someone else being victimized, but also teach our kids not to victimize other kids.  Teach our kids that we should all try to make people feel better about themselves, not worse.  Because kids in particular can easily fall victim to the mob mentality.

Sounds about white.

Huh?  How does that “sound about white”?  B/c I think these kids should face criminal charges?  B/c I think they should serve time?  B/c I think that passing them off to some other school doesn’t really solve the problem?  If these kids parents have any money, they will simply enroll their kids in private school before having them enrolled in some alternative school.  Look, if an alternative school is the best option, I’m all for it. But I’d rather have these kids publicly shamed in their current school.

And, btw, I’m not white.   [/quote]
