"I had to confiscate it so it wouldn't escalate any problems in class," Straatman told The Times-News. "We're worried about that stuff all the time. We always have kids saying stuff to each other, and we have a lot of fights between kids."

"We believe in nondiscriminatory practices and cultural sensitivity...."

Gackkk!!! Hope the PE teacher comes out of this OK but I suspect he will be sacrificed to the altar of Cultural Sensitivity.

Nice rewrite!! ... You should try to get paid for this in the future

You're wrong, dead wrong. Im italian, when my people came to this country, we were beaten, raped, harassed, and murdered in cold blood. The law did not protect us, so we created the mafia to protect ourselves. There was no law back then, just whatever the local police(thugs) wanted to do. Criminal Justice was non existant back then, its a relatively new field. I'm not going to give you the history of the police, but the majority of those "law enforcement officers" back during those times were just thugs for hire. What im saying is WE were the ones who were treated hard, like the irish, and the other europeans coming over, and the blacks, in fact many americans considered us lower than black, because the blacks could speak english better and the americans were used to blacks, not european immigrants in general.

What im saying is the Mexicans have it EASY. THERE IS LAW NOW, AND ITS ENFORCED. Those Americans who wish to beat murder and rape cannot do so anymore. They know the law will take them away. Im sure theres a few Americans who do it anyway, but its NOTHING like it was when most of our ancestors came over.

Should we be harder, legally, on these mexican invaders? HELL YEAH. Lets make the mexican government take responsibility for what their people are doing. Lets start taxing the mexican government heavily. Im all for building a wall, so what if its going to cost 10 billion dollars, we spend 300 billion a year in iraq.

I didn't do a re-write per se, I just cited the sections of the article I found to be most pertinent, and presented them in the order those sections appeared in the original article. I added emphasis (underlining) to the phrases I thought were most telling.

Hell we spend over 20 billion a year right here supporting illegal immigrants in lost taxes, crime, social services, education, and medical.
