[quote=Anonymous]You have gone out of your way to provide a plethora of information of 'what is there to be heard'.

Let's not make this out that it's only black kids who are doing the classroom crimes of passion.  Some of these kids have behavioral problems (talking back, disrespectful, fighting) but I can't remember the last time I heard of some black kid gunning down classrooms of students or building bombs for retaliation to classmates (mind you, I'm talking about multiple massacres but no less critical than one or two individuals hurt no matter who does the crime).

Yes, their is inner city violence in schools but I think you do an injustice by implying that all school disciplinary problems are caused by blacks.  Most definitely, white kids with disciplinary problems contribute majorly too even in our own backyard (one early poster mentioned several....yes, cheating scandals are disciplinary problems and not a boys will be boys issue).

I would much rather deal with a loud mouth kid than one who walks into a classroom and blows everyone to smithereens.

And for the record, the most documented heinous school crimes have been done by white kids.  Just a few examples below without mentioning the most recent.

http://www.childtrendsdatabank.org/?q=node/269  Differences by Race and Hispanic Origins
In 2011, black males were significantly less likely to carry weapons than white males (21 versus 27 percent). There were no other significant differences by race or Hispanic origin. (Figure 2)

In the 1990s, black students were significantly more likely to carry weapons than were white students (33 percent versus 25 percent, in 1991, when the gap was greatest). Although the percentage for Hispanic students was similar to that for white students in 1991, the gap between these groups grew, reaching a peak in 1997. In that year, 23 percent of Hispanic students and 17 percent of white students had carried a weapon in the past 30 days. Since then, however, there have been no significant differences by race/ethnicity in weapon-carrying.
