I KNOW, RITE? I wish I knew if they posted an apology for this shit, I haven't found anything yet. *looks* Oh, wait. No apology or anything at all.

I wanted to point out they aren't all High Schoolers that have been charged. The age of those charged range from middle school age to 2(7)? Almost all already have a criminal record, one with a manslaughter charge.

I posted to my journal and would have signed that petition...if I could get No Script to let the page work. *sigh*

This is just so wrong. I loved the line at the end, where it said the boys weren't back in school yet and may never be. You know, I sure wouldn't want MY (non-existent) kid going to that school system!

Thanks for signal-boosting. Now I wish that NYT would at least recognize the backlash.
