Calling all race warlords! Mr Jackson call on line 2

Here we go again. Incidents of this type I guess are going to be getting more national news attention now since there are declining body counts in Iraq and news of Brittany is getting old.
Racist incident roils Pa. high school

Here is the incident, without all of the speculation of the reporter and the liberal handwringing.
That's when three white 16-year-old students allegedly yelled racial slurs and threw paper wads at minority students outside the 1,600-student Warwick High School.

Nobody condones using racial slurs, unless you are liberal blog popular with most of Democrat lawmakers and are referring to either conservative bloggers or the military. And of course the school administration has a firm grasp on how to solve the problem.
School officials vowed to discipline the three students, tighten security and ban Confederate flags on school property.

Yup that is the solution. Ban the Confederate flag, because after all we know that the flag is the cause of everything eveel in America. I wonder how the "school officials" feel about Che t-shirts or Paleo scarves, you know people who actually killed other people and continue to inspire murder.
Living in the south I am way past sick and tired of everything being blamed on the Confederate flag. Damn Yankees just need something to blame, because afterall it isn't the fault of the individuals involved is it. I never heard the term racial incident used to describe the physical attack of 6 black youths in LA against a white guy. The only time the race card was played was to bring up the incidents of the nooses in the trees, which occurred 3 months before the beating administered to the white kid. And then there is this from one of the concerned parents
Erasmo Cora Jr., a Puerto Rican native whose 14-year-old son, Erik, was among the victims, said the school should expel all of the roughly dozen students who allegedly engaged in racist behavior.

So tell me Mr Cora Jr, do you have a Puerto Rican flag hanging from the rearview mirror of your car? Maybe you have a Puerto Rican license plate holder. Does your kid ever wear a shirt with the PR flag on it?
Incidents like this always get on my bad side. My child, who is white in full disclosure, attends a school that is 70% black, not only students but facility and staff also, and I am here to tell you it cuts both ways. My child wears a shirt with something not to the liking of one of the teachers she is sent home. While we are waiting to pick her up all kinds of kids are walking around showing their boxer shorts or girls in skirts best suited for a profession that can be described as a night job walk merrily by. My kid gets beat up, chances are she will also wind up in detention for provoking a fight, you know with 5 other students at once.
I am just tired of the race card being trotted out and being used for a double standard.
But you let me know how banning the Confederate flag works out for you will ya? And while you are at it can somebody in PA ask Murtha for an apology to the Marines he slandered.
