Thread: Vice-Principal Makes 15 Hispanic Students Eat Lunch on Floor

These people make me sick...the only word in their vocabulary is RACISM! Send 'em back to Mexico...our schools are too good for them.

N.J. Vice Principal Makes Students Eat On Floor

Black School Official Punished 15 Hispanic Elementary School Students For Behavioral Problems TRENTON (CBS/AP) ― State education officials say 15 Hispanic elementary students in Camden got inappropriate punishment, but not because of their ethnicity.

The investigation found a black vice principal forced students in a fifth grade bilingual class to eat their lunches while sitting on the gymnasium floor. The weeklong 'lunch detention' stemmed from behavioral problems in the class.

The report, released this week, found the punishment was demeaning and unsafe, but not biased since it was common for non-Hispanic students as well.

Parents and activists called the incident an example of prejudice against Hispanics, noting the Hispanic teacher who complained was fired. However, the investigation found his firing was merited by poor performance and lack of classroom control.

Heaven forbid if we discipline the kids in our schools today.

In many kindergarten classes they sit on the floor for snack time. What's the big deal?

Notice that they focus only on the consequences and the disciplinarian. Never mind what the kids did. A bunch of kids can turn a classroom upside down in an instant.

Good grief! What's the big deal? They act like it was some type of heinous punishment, without ANY reference to what the kids did to deserve such a horrible thing as eating on the floor.

If EVERYBODY gets the same punishment, how exactly is this "prejudice against Hispanics"?

Have you ever seen a kid turn down a chance to have a meal sitting on the floor in front of the tv?

In one of our elementary schools last year there was a mexican flag
hung in one classroom alongside the American flag . The red white and blue was hung backwards , there was a picture in the local fishwrap,
Dallas morning news , people were mad as hell and complained . It didn`t
take them long to get rid of that red white and green .

We always used to send troublemakers to the other end of the cafeteria to eat lunch. There was no table there and they had to sit on the floor and eat and it didn't matter what race they were. Since the school was 70% hispanic at the time I worked there they could have probably sued me too back then since most of the kids sitting on the floor would have been hispanic.

There aren't that many punishments you can use in a school and the teacher did the right thing.

Now you didn't expect them to tell the WHOLE story when this happened, did you? The previous articles left out a few glaring facts, such as these:

was common for non-Hispanic students as well.

I'm glad the investigation showed their manipulation of the story.

Now, if only they could have gotten 'rid' of all the kids who participated in the dastardly deed!
