i do think both parties went too far and i agree that school officials should have intervened long before the nooses on the "white tree" because the fact that there would even be something referred to as a "white tree" is atrocious.
i think its sickening what the white kids got away with as well. i'm not saying in any way that a violent retort was just, but i can see how it could escalate to that being that no "authority" figures were jumping to the black kids defense.
the initial blatant racist actions of the law were horribly uncalled for, though i do think the kids should be punished for what they did.
i guess there's really not enough facts in yet to formulate a solid opinion on the situation, but for some reason it's really been bugging me today...
