LUDICROUS!!!

John Tyler has had a history of violence & racial tension for some time now. Nothing new there. I can remember back in my high school days between 94-98 at Robert E. Lee (Tyler's other high school) gang violence was a big issue over at JT & to some extent at REL.

This all boils down to parents (mostly minorities) failing to raise their children right...simple as that. You know if this was a white kid murdering a black teacher we'd have the NAACP causing a stink here in Tyler right away.

One really can't seperate the people of a town and the times, they are a reflection of each other. I just made changes 5 years ago and left a progressive urban place back east and landed out here in west Texas where I live around little hamlets where people and life seem to be 5-7 years behind where I came from. Too when one hears of the names of certain places negative connections occur and there is usually some base to it: Little Rock and violence, Los Angeles and gangs Jackson and racism, Seminole and Mennonites, Des Moines and higher education. One just gets accustomed to making connections like this. I've always heard Tyler was a progressive middle class middle of the road suburban community. When it gets down to actual fact one may find gangs and violence and racism and higher educated or drop outs and even Mennonites any anytown and not everyone in LA is in a gang and not everyone in Des Moines is a college grad. No the times and people of a community are usually a reflection but have you ever drive any of the little hamlets in west Texas like Presidio or Van Horn or Sagauro or Lamesa or Sterling City or Robert Lee? most major behind the times in progress and most of the folks too but thats not necessarily a bad thing.

I agree totally. It really is all about the parents.

I know all about between these two schools.

No, it's just your ignorant NAACP comment (among other things). And how do you know I don't know what goes on in Tyler? Like I don't know anybody from there?

Child please.

You sound like you're in the Minority too. You do know that would've happened. Doesn't truth hurt?

Your friends who live in Tyler probably just exaggerating what they've told you, probably.

Yeah, okay

I heard about that stabbing yesterday. Some people here at my university from Tyler knew the teacher.

How is it ignorant when its happened before at those schools & when I was attending one?

Do you even know the history of REL HS or what General Robert E. Lee stood for? Blacks are the ones responsible for forcing that school to change their mascot from the Rebel to the current Red Raider back in the 70's much like the University of Mississippi did with their Rebel mascot back in 2003.

[Angel713]

Yeah, I learned that yesterday actually, while we all were just sitting around talking in the TV room. And why does it matter?

That is very true.

Political correctness is bull**** and only getting worst.
