Well - still being in high school, the only extreme thing that has occured is that a girl was expelled for swearing at a teacher. Oh and another was because she texted her mum to take her home 'cause she felt ill. Lame or what?

My God...how well the scenarios in this OP remind me of what school was like
in the 50's and early 60's. This is a perfect example of what happens when common sense ruled rather than one size fits all legislation and zero tolerance
approach to all human behaviors.
As for when it all started to change, looking back I can clearly recall when it all
started ...the the writings and opinions of the social engineering types like Dr. Benjamin Spock.
Life expectancy rates in the United States are at an all-time high, with people born in 2005 projected to live for nearly 78 years, a new federal study finds...The finding reflects a continuing trend of increasing life expectancy that began in 1955, when the average American lived to be 69.6 years old.

Swearing at teachers is not acceptable. The student discipline was appropriate.

Ahhhhhhh. How nostalgic or is it?
Considering the source (Free Republic a neocon extremist website) This is a technique often used along with other "code-speak."
Terms like: "The America I grew up in......." and "The way things were......" is a throwback to the old days. A predominantly white and segregated America. Plus the overall tone of the article was anti-Obama. Propaganda at its finest.
Based on the source and a few other threads by OP, I this is as just a veiled guise.
Rose colored glasses only look backwards.
As someone once said...."You can't go home again." Sorry, this is mostly a conspiracy forum and I rarely follow the herd. (By the way, I was born in 1956.)
On a positive note, people are living longer. Some data in case you don't like my opinion.

This happens to White and Hispanic people now at schools that have been taken over by Blacks. How is that any different?

This doesn't still happen? Also add in that Mary probably is molested by her teacher in exchange for a passing grade.

How is it any different today? Teachers are forbidden from teaching their own material. They must go by the book, and the book is full of propaganda.

Bad examples. Try again.
