i think young kids are now so.. numb against all the violence and vulgarity in today's society. it saturates the media. everywhere on TV, video games, music.. you can't even turn on the disney channel and find 100% wholesome stuff. so even if the kids didn't think they were racially targetting anyone to be malicious, which they probably weren't, it's just such a problem in today's society that kids don't think violence and stuff like that is that bad.

well YES i have heard of all those atrocious events, and i for one certainly do think acts and violence are terrible. i didn't mean racially targeting anyone at all is not malicious at all. being a minority, i myself have been a target of discrimination as well. so i guess to clarify what i said in other words - in today's culture, especially here in america, there is so much violent media that it's hard for kids to avoid and subsequently some kids may develop an indifferent attitude towards violence. i am not saying that i personally or that every kid thinks violence is okay. i am pointing out how sad it is that violence and racisim is carelessly portrayed in everything. how many cartoons and comedies get laughs through someone getting physically hurt or humiliated? how many songs do you hear racial slurs being thrown around and used in a casual manner? i do think it's sad.. i think that some kids DONT care about the outside world and horrible things going on in other countries like bosnia, darfur. especially at that age. so i think it's important to educate our kids in diversity and peace..
not to sound defensive, but i do feel strongly about news like this, and really do find it kind of sad, today's young culture.

The really sad part is (besides the fact that we have to have this discussion at all) most of the kids parents will sum it up as "oh, their just being kids", and that's when u step in as a parent (and a decent human being) and say this is not acceptable its wrong and disrespectful and it will not be tolerated.
Don't pacify (sp) everything ur child does, give them discipline and boundaries. Let them know that there are consequences for bad decisions. Sorry for my rant
I'll shut up now!

Now I have a child who will be targeted even more for his major minority status. Every time somebody uses a word like "tard," which I see all over the place, it makes me (& other parents) cringe.
Words like that hurt me long before I became a mom, although I will *never* claim I am a saintly being, 100% free of prejudice of any kind.

Does anybody know why was missworld's banner was taken down/put as a link? Surely it didn't take more bandwidth than photos of people's hauls, and FOTDS ???
We also post YouTube videos on a fairly regular basis.
I will research later to see if it's some type of hotlink issue, but in a super-fast skim, all I have time for right now, I don't see that Wikipedia has a rule which pertains to this issue. Specktra probably does...so...
I will look again later.
I'm sure missworld will be wondering, too. Hopefully, if this is the case, she can host it herself.
I replied to missworld's post & the *profound* banner, completely non-aggressive & pertaining to Humanity, was edited out, as well.
We know how large photos are on here sometimes. Surely size was not the issue?
Thanks. CF
Anybody can see the banner in the below link, for now.

As much as this is an atrocity, these kids learned this from the people who are supposed to be teaching them i.e. their parents, teachers, and other adults in their lives. Sadly, they probably won't learn any better given the attitude that the administration took.
I would bet that these teachers grew with the same type of things happening so they don't see the need to make a big fuss about it. I mean, after all there were only 30 Jewish kids there right? It didn't affect that many people right? *sarcasm there folks*.
I attended a predominately white high school and man o man you would be surprised at how ignorant and prejudice some of those kids where. And seriously, most of the time when they were being offensive they had no idea. Why? b/c their parents say stuff like that all the time or something to that effect. No matter how much they learned about the holocaust or slavery or the massacre of native americans or japanese internment camps, some kids don't draw any type of beneficial conclusions about respect or acceptance from that. Just something that happened, it's over, and anyone offended by it should probably just get over it. Some think "if I target you now, you shouldn't be offended B/C it was all done in fun".
I am absolutely appalled at the administration as well. Seriously, it's your duty to teach these impressionable minds all about acceptance and the value of diversity. I don't care how you may think it doesn't mean much or if you just have pure hatred for another person, you still need to respect them! RESPECT RESPECT RESPECT!! And the administration along with the parents need to teach these kids just that.

My high school graduating class probably had fewer than 30 Jewish kids, out of 800 or 850.
Perhaps that's another reason I felt so saddened by this horror. Our high school principal was African-American. I also recall diversity, in race, religion, and ethnicity, among the staff and the administration. BUT....I didn't see *that*much diversity...far from enough. I did experience prejudice personally, which actually led me to feel uncomfortable revealing my family's religion in many cases. Being mainly Caucasian, and not *looking* Jewish (whatever that means) helped, but I was still in the same minority group as these students.
I always felt we were seen as part of the general *minority* contingency of our high school, along with African-Americans, a tiny amount of kids who were of indigenous heritage to this land, a couple of kids who had come from Vietnam, China, Japan, Mexico and Iran.
Only the children who were in special education classes seemed to get the worst evil directed toward them.
Of course, this was not in the 2000's, nor in the 1990's...
Look at this high school in Missouri, and look how far we've come.
*sarcasm*
I pray daily that the "ism's" will be purged. They will not be gone before my little son begins school.
But I will keep praying and speaking out against the "ism's" wherever I see them, even in quiet ways, such as posting on an Internet forum.

Yes! I do not understand how this ignorance continues to live. Being mom to a child who has special needs, I encounter the ignorance on, pretty much, a daily basis. I am always especially shocked when it comes from the mouth of a person who I would have thought (for what reason??) was Enlightened...ie from a supervisor of a county gov't office: "Those children are always so loving and complacent."
*sticks finger down throat*
I believe we must work on killing the weeds of prejudice and ignorance on a daily basis; we must educate our children if we truly want Change.

We cannot afford to be complacent about the education our children need, in order to live in an increasingly culturally diverse society.

Pure hatred, based upon an "ism" race/religion/gender/genetics/age/sexual preference/ability.... etc...is a fear and ignorance-based poison, I believe. Even while the "hate" has not been completely purged, I think you're right, children must be taught an attitude of respect for all people as fellow Human beings.
That said, (by me), unfortunately, I find it difficult to respect a person who acts blatantly ignorant and offensive to humanity. Of course, my statement, my personal judgement of anyone being "blatantly ignorant & offensive" is subjective, but I believe we are on the same page here.
I hope i can become a better, more respectful, more forgiving person as *I* continue to grow & learn (I pray I continue to do so all my Life, which i see as a Gift.)
At this point, I feel I am generally able to forgive,
but I find it difficult to forget.
I do see Hope. I believe we are on our way.
