For the record, I am a Jew-basher-basher. If one of those kids had been mine, he or she would not have been able to sit for a week, and would have been on bread and water for a month. That this sort of filth should be allowed to flourish almost unpunished (sent home? give me a break!) in a country with claims to civilization makes my blood boil.

...Principal Margaret Jackson did her homework and was ready the following morning. She addressed the entire student body. That included a review of the student code of conduct and an explanation of why what happened was wrong. She spoke of the need to respect one another — and possible consequences.
She then shed light into murky corners, calling on students with information to come to her office.
The culprits were given a one-day, in-school suspension, served right away, and the parents were summoned to school conferences.
Parents of the kicked students were notified as well.
In addition, the first 20 minutes of the school day at North Naples Middle School for the time being will focus on character traits such as respect and kindness.
Swift and clear? Not only can you clearly get away with this stuff, we're going to lump the whole student body together and lecture them endlessly because we clearly can't discriminate between perpetrators and bystanders.

As a teacher told me just last night, you can have all the assemblies you want, but it's only the kids who don't need them that pay any attention to them.
