re: Jason Whitlock absolutely nails the reason behind the brutal beating at Hazelwood East HS

Schools aren't equipped to dole out discipline.
If kids report bullies, schools lack discretion...making it worse.
Schools give too many strikes to violent kids. All too often, kids are just suspended for a few days, when they really need to be redirected to an alternative school.

My kid was relentlessly bullied by a black girl last year, to the point where he was forced to defend himself and knocked her the frick out. Never been so proud.

That ghetto trash and her vice principal dad (who was in charge of student discipline) were gone the next week. Documentation paid off. I had asked my kid to document date, time, location of everything. He did. Reviewing the video confirmed what we all knew. Would have hated for things to get litigious.



Schools need to be allowed to discipline. They need to be run by people willing to do the work. Teachers nor students can succeed when shitstains prowl the halls and bus aisles.
