My wife was a teacher for nearly 40 years. She retired in part because of this very sort of event.
My daughter was a teacher for 5 years. She quit because of being given classes of over 50 students, many of whom felt empowered to physically challenge her in class.
This phenomenon is not anecdotal, and is not an isolated incident. What do you expect to happen in our PC world when kids are indoctrinated to believe that white culture (and people) are evil and the root causes of their problems? There is no discipline in schools any more, and kids who do things like this are not held accountable, but have excuses made for them.

Yeah, I see your point. That makes it ok, I guess...(sarcasm) I'm not on facebook, but find the reference interesting.

While you may think so, it was not something anyone would do at my school, or my childrens school, maybe we just lived in a soft,comfy area. Also, what happened to Tom and his brother, were they told to "behave themselves" and sent back to class? I agree that the instances have been increasing, but that is not an excuse for it, or a reason to trivialize it. I find the fact students do this, and get away with it, rather significant in terms of how society will look at particular events and either brush them off, or have screaming meltdowns....

Old story. We had this happen in 1965 at Lincoln High School in Cleveland, Ohio. Tom Wolfe and his brother were cutting school to go to an Indians game. They were caught by a teacher. They punched him out and ran out the door. You can find stories of teens assaulting teachers from 1895 and 1865. It is not unique to our time and place.

Every harm that runs through the news is not evidence of the collapse of civilization or the pernicious consequences of political progressives.
