It is such a shame that things like this still happen. My prayers go out to that poor girl and her family. I am very disappointed at how this was handled. How can they say they are unsure if it was a hate crime? I think those people need to sit in on some of their own history classes! To only give those boys in school suspension is an insult!!!

Aren't you aware that racism doesn't exist in Catawba County?(That is what I have been told by several people over the past few months) So, the noose was just a joke, and should just be laughed off....

I think that they should be treated just the same had they brandished any other form of weapon. Had they shook a gun in her face or pulled out a knife there would be no question. And .... Undecided whether it's a hate crime or bullying? Seriously??? They didn tell the poor girl she was fat or ugly, they made a joke about hanging her. I think when you consider they aren't all one color it's kind of common sense that, YES of course it's a hate crime. Guess common sense isn't all that common.

Trying to play this off as a minor indiscretion is completely unacceptable! Hate crimes and bulling are too similar not to be the same…. No student should ever feel this way when attending school … In school suspension?? How about criminal charges?? That’s what I would do if I were the girl’s parents. Full charges should be brought to the boys that did this. Sally Bradshaw is a poor excuse as a principal.

'Pre-Civilization Preservationists' is the politically correct term for racists. After thousands of years, it appears that it will never end. Not in my lifetime or in that of my children.

It is apparent that Mrs Bradshaw couldnt care less about what these guys did to this girl. She basically handled it as she does all the other things that goes on. She turns her back. Dress codes are only inforced for certain students. This type of behavior has gone on forever under the watchful eye of Sally Bradshaw. Nothing is EVER done about it. She sees, she KNOWS, and she
ignores!Just dont dare to harrass any of her favorite students, they you will be punished.

It was all just a misunderstanding, it was an early "April Fools" prank.

Am I am sure that if a student showed up with a toy gun and threatened someone, they would get off with a smack on the hand because it was an early april fool joke. That is just an excuse to get their butts outa trouble!Mrs Bradshaw needs to be removed since she has proven that she has her pets and they can do no wrong.

This was not a early april fools joke. The boys who did this were doing it to be mean. They have been bragging around school that they got away with it and they are planning their next "aprils fool joke". Just wondering how the parents of their next victim will feel??? Maybe it will be one of YOUR children!Then how will YOU feel?

As President, I B-lack Obama have checked into this incident. After talking with the boys and the girl I have determined it was all in fun. That was the boys way of asking the girl if she wanted to go out after school and "tie one on" or "get looped", in other words if she wanted to get "drunk".

No Willie, you are wrong. Slavery and bondage is the greatest tyranny against people. In regard to this incident, the boys probably did not understand the full implication of their action. I am glad that they had to pay in consequences, and hopefully, they will understand the implications of their childish prank and will never repeat it. In regard to Diamond Back's post. You must be color blind in the malls. I see young whites creating some of the same disturbances. It is a 'youth' thing, not a black/white thing.

You can't seem to get the picture that I am white, can you? Yes, Willie, a divided nation will always make us stronger in the possible fight we will possibly face against real terrorists who want to invade and take us over. Do you think only whites will enlist to protect us? What an idiot!

I am really surprised that you walk around in a free society with your obvious degree of mental issues. You have to be under some medication regime, but maybe you are not taking them now. You exhibit serious signs of being delutional and paranoid with all those characters you think that I am. The degree of hate for people that you don't even know is a serious sign of mental and emotional instability. Get some help. Maybe remaining on this forum is the only thing that keeps you from being a potential mass murderer. Who knows? If you are really this way, I would cringe to see your real danger potential. Just glad right now that I am not black.

Now there is a phoney statement made in my name by your phoney ass that uses all the many other names on here that you think is cunning, clever and deceptive. Now, you make an interesting statement about baby killing liberals. Let me ask you (but I already know that you are too gutless to answer). Is it OK with you if we liberals abort all the black babies to save you the expense of them growing up to be nothing but worthless individuals who are capable of nothing on their own, make no contribution to society, and you are forced to pay for them throughout their whole life by your taxes? Or, does the extent of your sincere compassion for the unborn only include white fetus'? If your answer to the black baby question is 'yes', do you see any parallels between your thinking and that of a loyal Nazi with the same sentiments about Jews?

Daily Horoscope for June 3

Aquarius

This is a great day for talking about topics that mean a lot to you. You could have an engrossing conversation with someone about a shared passion, or they might describe one of their interests to you in such a way that you become ensnared. It's very likely that you'll hear some news out of the blue about a financial matter.
