Fed To Take Propaganda To The Schoolroom

It was on YouTube for only a few hours, but in that time, to the mortification of city officials, it went global: the sight and sound of at least 100 students at Murry Bergtraum High School, located just next door to NYPD headquarters, rioting in the corridors, wrestling with officers who patrol the campus and one student punching a police sergeant in the face.

“The school doesn’t get why that would be a problem,” says one teacher at Murry Bergtraum.

Neither, apparently, does the NYPD. “It wasn’t a riot,” says spokesperson Detective Cheryl Crispin.

The Murry Bergtraum High School for Business Careers is next door to 1 Police Plaza and just a block away from City Hall.
What was it, then?

“It was a disturbance, I guess. A large, disorderly group.”

That, she says, is how it’s written up in the paperwork. Six students were issued summonses for disorderly conduct, and a seventh was arrested for “obstructing governmental administrations.”

No one was arrested for assaulting an officer?

“No,” Crispin says. “They couldn’t tell who did it.”

No one was injured, Crispin says, and the school is usually only patrolled by unarmed school-safety agents — that police sergeant just happened to be there on “unrelated business.”

Large, disorderly groups; an armed cop who wasn’t called in a panic but just decided to swing by the most violent school in the city; a ranking sergeant who was clocked in the face yet unhurt — these are but a few of the euphemisms employed when officials are forced to address the educational and institutional disaster that is Murry Bergtraum High School — or, as it is known in city parlance, an “impact school.”

The irony of that Orwellian description — the most impact the school seems to have is best measured in body blows, punches and general emotional trauma among students and teachers — is clearly lost on those who would be in charge.

And that the story broke via cellphone video is yet another example of the disconnect between students and officials, who view them as weapons — kids have used them to organize riots — while students, who are supposed to turn over their phones at the start of every school day, view them as lifelines.

And why shouldn’t they? Thanks to a cellphone video, the world can see just how appalling and unsafe the conditions are at Murry Bergtraum High — conditions that the principal, the cops and the city would prefer to deny. Behind euphemisms and statistics, pictures are the only proof.

‘Over the past several years, I’ve seen many a teacher say, ‘I’m done, I’m out of here,’ ” says a Bergtraum teacher, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity. “It’s to the point where there aren’t any consequences for these kids. Since last week’s riot, there’s got to be 10 cops in this building every day. But I don’t know who can lay down the law here or who can enforce it.”

By atheist standards there is NO evidence for evolution.

 

Let me guess those who were rioting were: asian females right?

 

That's a nice thought. Except most hs and college graduates are raving socialists. I know through personal experience. Obama captured a huge chunk of the youth vote that bought his "social justice" commie-socialist message?

 

He did indeed capture that vote...The irony is that he isn't far enough left for that crowd and too "centrist". The right couldn't stand him from day one...all that's left are the unions and the blacks. In fact, he's the prototype of a Cook County politician...that's about all they ever really pander to for re-election.

 

Yes and most hs and college dropouts go on to become raving rightwing lunatics who post ridiculous, laughable "facts" based on personal experience.

 

You and Grabass continue with this charade that anybody who is anti-leftist is some hillbilly drop out. It's pure bullshit and you know it, but you've run out of any logical defense for what Achilles28 posted in this thread.

 

I went to university. Did you? University and college are hotbeds of liberal sentiment, particularly in the social sciences. That's an accepted fact. You're a perfect example. How old are you? 27? 28? As far as right-wing "lunacy" is concerned, I could run circles around your pseudo-intellectual class-warfare argument, all day. It's obvious to those who know, that you don't. The solutions to our problems are a bit more involved than the Buffet Rule (ie "the rich don't pay enough"). Like that idiot Obama, you seem to think wealth is zero sum, and have no idea where it comes from. Only that you "get more" if taxes are raised. Genius

 

I'm surprised I didn't get flamed before for saying it, but I think Brietbart was murdered. It's rumored his game-changing video showed Obama in hardcore commie meetings where there was talk of overthrowing the Government. It's not a far cry, given the company he kept - Bill Ayers and Dohrn (members of "The Weather Underground", who conspired to do just that).
