Clearly as an alternative you can send your kid to a convent.

Or you can homeschool them!

Just to address this misapprehension directly: there are plenty of schools, public and private, where violence, bullying, and general dickishness are not tolerated.

Based on what Tim wrote, there is no indication that the "school" endorses nor coddles this type of racist, violent behavior. In fact, he never mentioned that these incidents happened at school. This seems like an instance of poor home training...not the school.

The focus should be on the needs of the majority of good kids that are subject to the disruptive (often violent) behavior of the few bad apples.

Sooo, are the "good" students Tim mentioned poor or middle class? you know, the group who represents a majority of the good kids?

You might just as well point to the Aurora shooting as an example of how the movie going experience has become less pleasant.

Way to go Oboe. Way to go! Keep it consistent.
