[PHILLY] A brutal assault on a teacher at George Washington High School led to the removal Tuesday of the troubled school's principal, Philadelphia School District officials confirmed.
Hoping to quiet a culture of violent incidents, district officials reassigned Gene Jones a day after the attack, which occurred during third period Monday morning, midway through a ninth-grade biology lesson.
The classroom door - usually locked against intruders - was open, allowing a handful of students to walk paperwork across the hallway, according to someone with firsthand knowledge of the incident.

"the teacher wrestled the student to the ground" - even though it was the student punched him, I am certain the teacher's use of force will be grounds for disciplinary action and possibly lawsuit against him.

Back in ancient times, about 1981, some parents got a local DA to pay attention to violence in their school's classrooms. He formed a grand jury which turned in indictments on the principle and his two assistance for failures to report felony assault crimes committed in the school. Seems the school administration was trying to suppress the inconvenient information. They plead out and surrendered their teaching certifications. Different times.

If only they had a strong Union backed by a political party to protect them from these feral youts...oh.

Yo, citizens, fill up the bleachers
As schoolteachers battle their creatures!
See fierce gladiators
Meet meek "educators,"

Something...something...something about children crossing the border (and no photographing allowed).
[KSTP] Two students have now been charged after two employees were hurt breaking up a cafeteria fight at St. Paul's Central High School.
Investigators say the fight, which happened Friday, Dec. 4, started between two students and was about who had better football statistics.
The fight involved a 15-year-old student. During the fight, his 16-year-old brother jumped in to help, and a science teacher intervened to stop the older brother from getting involved.
Police say the 16-year-old then shoved the teacher's face into a wall, breaking his glasses.
An assistant principal also said he saw the 16-year-old pick up the teacher in a strangulation hold, lift him in the air and forcefully slam him on his back onto a cafeteria chair and table. The student then got on top of the teacher and started choking him, and he then hit him in the face and neck repeatedly, according to the complaint.
The assistant principal intervened, and police say the 16-year-old also slammed him into a wall. Witnesses say the younger brother then punched the assistant principal repeatedly in the upper chest.
Both students were placed in durance vile Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! The 15-year-old was charged Monday with fourth-degree assault and obstructing legal process. Prosecutors Tuesday charged the 16-year-old with felony third-degree assault.
Police say the teacher who was assaulted has bruises on his neck and face, scratches on his face, and was having trouble making sense and comprehending what was taking place. Officers say he fell unconscious for about 10-20 seconds during the fight.
The teacher was taken to the hospital, and police say his condition continued to deteriorate. He was nauseous, had tingling in his hands and had back and neck pain. Emergency doctors say he had a traumatic brain injury, a concussion and neck trauma.
The assistant principal also had a grapefruit-sized bruise on his neck, according to police.
A St. Paul teachers union has suggested its teachers will strike if changes are not made.
Saint Paul Federation of Teachers President Denise Rodriguez released a statement Tuesday night, requesting additional staff and resources be allocated to "adopt a restorative approach to school climate." Rodriguez also suggested the addition of social workers, counselors, nurses and school psychologists as well as district support--in the form of time and funds--so that teachers can work with parents and "build collaborative relationships."

The measured and calm learning atmosphere engendered by the public school system is awesome to behold.
60 years ago my parents moved us from NYC to the suburbs because this was the direction that schools were heading. A long history of the failure of the Dewey educational system.

The color of the attackers?
Black?
Not surprised.

A restorative approach to school climate? Counselors, social workers, psychologists? Oh dear, you are clearly out of touch with reality. You need some big, beefy security guards. Check out some of the local nightclubs and see if they have any bouncers who are interested in day jobs.
[LATINO.FOXNEWS] Just a few days ago, when the opposition in Venezuela could only dream of an electoral victory -- not to say a landslide victory- that would finally give them an audible voice in the National Assembly, a foreign correspondent asked Julio Borges, one of the country's top opposition leaders, if the coalition would seek to remove President Nicolás Maduro from office in that hypothetical case.
"Let's not go crazy," he said with a smirk.
But then Sunday happened and, 48 hours later, the electoral board confirmed the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) obtained the 112 seats needed to get the supermajority and thus the constitutional power to sack Supreme Court justices, rewrite Hugo Chavez's 1999 constitution -- and, yes, initiate a referendum to revoke Maduro's mandate.
Now opposition leaders are discussing the idea openly and with gusto, after 17 years of uninterrupted Chavista rule. The notion of sacking Nicolás Maduro, an unpopular president elected by the narrowest of margins (1.5 percent) is gaining traction in Venezuela.
Before the election, polls gave the 53-year-old president a 27 percent approval.
The opposition's victory was so resounding that it has caused a crisis within Chavismo, with at least one former Maduro official, Eduardo Samán, publicly blaming the president for Sunday's defeat.
On Tuesday Caracas was buzzing with rumors regarding disaffected military leaders, the full cabinet ready to resign and even of political parties that had so far backed Maduro deserting the president.
Since his gloomy appearance on Sunday night, Maduro has remained holed up in the Miraflores Presidential Palace in downtown Caracas, reportedly trying to reach out to allies.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pond, the radioactive tadpoles grown into frogs. Really big frogs, in fact... many of the opposition heavyweights are saying that said they want presidential elections within a year.
"This government is just useless, I think this is a government whose countdown has started today," said Henry Ramos, the longest-serving representative and a staunch opposition leader from Acción Democrática told Fox News Latino.

Even with the 0.015:1 Rupee conversion to $$, that's some big numbers.
[NYPOST] Protesters at a Pennsylvania college are demanding that the school rename a building called Lynch Memorial Hall because of the racial overtones of the word "lynch."
The group of students at Leb Valley College submitted a list of demands to the administrators, including nixing the name of the building devoted to the college's former president, Clyde A. Lynch.
"All of the hate at this school makes me want to cry," one student, Lacey Eriksen, wrote on Twitter about the protest.
All of the hate at this school makes me want to cry.
-- Lacey Eriksen (@FrolickingFatty) December 7, 2015
Student organizers said the college needed to address "institutional injustices" on the campus.
"It's a rare moment here at Leb Valley College," Michael Schroeder, an associate professor of history, told PennLive outside a recent demonstration.
The demonstration Schroeder spoke at was closed to photos and video by organizers who sought to create a "safe space," the site said.
A school front man called former president Lynch a "very important figure" in the history of the college. He is credited with guiding the school through the Great Depression.
Other demands by the group include a more diverse curriculum, more sensitivity training for staff and regular surveys of the racial climate on campus.

I also demand that Loretta Lynch change her last name because it's racist.
#10
I share the same last name with a certain German gun manufacturer. Good thing they don't have a building named after me! It might actually kill some of them when their heads exploded.

#12 was me. This one is worse.One of the leaders of the Chicago protests said on MSNBC Thursday that one of their main goals was to defund the police department.
“So getting Mayor Rahm Emanuel to resign is definitely not the main goal of the movement right now,” Breanna Champion, leader of the Black Youth Project. “In Chicago, police receive 40% of our city’s budget to remain operational. That is completely unheard of and unacceptable.”

Chicago has been a cesspool of Democrat identity politics and liberal payoff games. Maybe Revrun Wright's "Chickens coming home to roost" are a necessary wake-up call. Burn it down, Kill each other. No PO-leece. You want anarchy and tribal politics?
You got it

Two things are certain - death and taxes
Two things are limitless - stupidity and self-rigteousness
