A Bronx student stabbed a classmate to death with a switchblade and seriously injured another in front of more than a dozen classmates inside their high school Wednesday morning — and cops are investigating if bullying was a motive, sources said.
Investigators believe Abel Cedeno, 18, plunged the tool into a Matthew McCree, 15, and Ariane LaBoy, 16, around 10:50 a.m. on the fifth floor of the Urban Assembly School for Wildlife Conservation on Mohegan Avenue in East Tremont, sources said.
One of the victims was throwing pens across the room in the middle of a third-period U.S. history class when Cedeno was hit, according to witness Jomarlyn Colon, 16, who was in the classroom at the time.
Cedeno demanded to know who did it, and when the McCree stepped forward to tell him it was an accident, Cedeno pulled a knife out of his front pocket, she said. It was a three-inch switchblade, Police Chief Robert Boyce said during a press conference later in the day.

Classic example of our public school system and the inability to have discipline and order. The same problem we have in our prison system.
I wonder if that kid had already had charges or conviction on some other violent crime and been put back into the regular school like is happening in Salisbury.
Nobody tried to stop him. They were too busy taking pictures. The meme is correct. They're complicit if you ask me.
Political correctness has limited the public school systems ability to properly run a safe place of learning.

Urban Assembly School for Wildlife Conservation? Really?
