A flood of more than 300 fighting students poured out of Proviso East High School on their last day of school May 31 and carried into the streets of Maywood for several hours, police said.At least 10 students were arrested, including a girl allegedly using two chef’s knives after being beaten down by other students, and the fight required more than 40 officers from neighboring agencies including Oak Park, Forest Park, Westchester, Bellwood and Broadview, according to the Forest Park Review.
Three students were taken to Loyola Medical Center with minor injuries, including one girl who was struck over the eye with a lock, the Review reported.

Well, isn't Chicago just a model for tolerance, live, and let live utopianism? Good Grief...What a blight these cities like Chicago, and Detroit are....Interesting that they both have been under progressive/liberal leadership for ever. Coincidence? I think not.

How can anyone complain? I believe high school was intended to prepare students for their future careers.

I feel for you & Maggie being around such nonsense!

Course here in little old Ft Wayne we've had 22 murders already.

Sad state of affairs.:(

Not to minimize your point, but I have to say that I don't recall any incidents of mass school shootings in Chicago's troubled schools - that seems to be entirely a disillusioned white youth thing. I'd rather see neither, but if I had to choose I'd rather see 300 students fighting it out, outside the school, only those who want to fight are fighting, and innocent children are not gunned down or murdered hiding under their desks terrified. The innocent ones here at least got to go home and avoid the mess.

My IQ just dropped 20 points reading your brilliant thesis.

While True CJ.....they will at least let us know how many miles a Shooting was from Obama's House. As if Obama having a house here is suppose to mean something. :lol:

Heya JM. :2wave: More on it my brutha! ;)

Although neither the school nor District 209 sent any kind of communication to parents describing what had happened, Curry said it was important for parents to know what happened.

"It didn't happen in the school. This was within the jurisdiction of law enforcement," Curry said. "But the parents, if they don't know they should know. They should be down knocking at our door asking what can we do to help?"

According to the Cook County Sheriff's office, the fights began in the park across the street from the school and in the streets surrounding the area at 9:30 a.m. when school was dismissed for the last day. We were caught by surprise when school got out at 9:30 in the morning," Curry said.

The fight is still under investigation and detectives are unsure if it spontaneously occurred or was the result of possible online planning. He said he didn't think it was a gang-related fight.

"There were 300 or more kids involved and many of those kids were involved in the fight or egging it on," he said.

"Many of these kids we arrested were not the fighters. They were charged with obstructing the police or disorderly conduct because they wanted to stick around after we told them to disperse. Instead of going home or trying to stop the fight, some decided to film the fight and put it all over Facebook," Curry added.

"Every day the Maywood Police are trying to control other people's children," Curry said. "At some point parents have to come and say 'these are our kids and our responsibility,'" he added.

"If kids know parents are on-board with law enforcement, there's some accountability on the parents -- and children too.".....snip~

Last-day fight at Proviso East involved 300 students, 10 arrested. | Articles | News | ForestParkReview.com

Of course they don't think it was gang related in Maywood. Not at All. :roll: Just High School kids and over 300 egging on the fighting. Looks like we will know very shortly this weekend.....huh? ;)
 
This is why I think boarding schools are the way to go if parents aren't doing their job.

I would love to see this. Get those kids that want to learn out of failing schools and allow them to thrive in an atmosphere where learning is valued instead of reviled.

Heya Maggie. :2wave: Well they would need a host of them for up around Maywood, Bellwood, and Forrest park.

Do you think the Obama's will return to Chicago in January 2017? I'm not so sure they will. If they do, with all the secret service agents around it might be a safer city then.

Have to get the kids out of there somehow to give them a chance. Out of THERE and out of the inner-city. Forest Park is okay though. Maywood-Bellwood right you are.

I'd be okay with funding public owned boarding schools. It would certainly be better than the public-funded reform schools, jails, and prisons a lot of these kids would otherwise end up in.

Yeah, I don't know why they flipped Glenwood School For Boys from Being a Military School and going to a boys and girls boarding school. Both North Side and South Side Campuses. Those that went that were into the military basically most gave credit to the school and the program they had. What helped turned their lives around.

Not anymore. Plus isn't CPS schools against More Charter Schools being Started up?

LoLz @ trying to use a fight at a school to play partisan politics. That is just painfully stupid. Let's look at some other recent school brawls:

I am of course sure you will think those are all the faults of liberals too.

Do you ever think before posting this stupid ****?
 
I think I might be a subliminal racist. Either that or I have been warped by media.

When I read that 300 kids were fighting in Chicago, in my mind's eye, they were black.

Had I read into it deeper and realized that no one was shot, stabbed or killed, I might have realized that wasn't the case. But I just automatically assumed....

The thing is, in my city, when the six o'clock news comes on and reports the local shootings, stabbings, etc., it's 9 times out of 10 over off of MLK Blvd or a neighborhood nearby.

I need to work on myself.

Know Anyone Who Thinks Racial Profiling Is Exaggerated? Watch This, And Tell Me When Your Jaw Drops.

I wouldn't feel so bad about it.

Ok, forget the cities, although I am sure that if you did a search the areas even you posted were liberal strongholds, but regardless, if not the places, then the schools....All those bully seminars doing a bang up job aren't they?

Your reactionary, and borderline vitriolic response is dismissed.

Yes, you do seem to dismiss facts and evidence that does not paint the outrage you so want to have. It is not my fault you tried to make a school fight into an attack on people's politics. It is not my fault you have no clue how to actually look at evidence. It is not my fault you get outraged for all the wrong reasons. It is not my fault you posted such an idiotic thread.
