School Violence Lands More Than 90,000 A Year In The ER, Study Finds

Despite all the lip service given to battling bullying, many kids are still being seriously hurt while on school grounds, a new study shows. Each year more than 90,000 school children suffer “intentional” injuries severe enough to land them in the emergency room, according to the study published in Pediatrics.

Though there was a decrease in the number of intentional injuries at school over the last 10 years, it was minor, said study co-author Dr. Siraj Amanullah, an assistant professor of emergency medicine and pediatrics at the Alpert Medical School at Brown University.

Current trend is to suspend fewer students no matter what they've done to others. The assumption is that kids can't really be as out of control as suspension numbers show. Very politically correct view. Now there are two groups of students, bullies and victims.

Liberal tolerance. "he's just mixed up and needs more attention and love"...
Liberal praise, everyone is a winner.
Liberal equality, we are all equal.
All wrong.
Liberals are just weak, mealy mouthed peace-nics and have no spine. They're constantly lowering the standard in education, personal integrity and character so as to be inclusive of all.
Well, get this, a rotten apple in a barrel of good apples never gets less rotten and only spreads it's rot among the rest.

Liberals are rot. Spreading rot.
All the apples are going bad.
