Society must conform to its weakest ugliest link.

Liberalism.

Kids nowadays have no respect. No respect at all if they aren't taught how to respect others.

What's the big deal there? The principle looks like a white guy.

The Post should have put the thug's mug shot on the web page, not the principal. It's his second assault and at 18, he's not a juvenile.

Similar stuff happened while I was in high school back in the 70's.

Actually, this kind of attitude is nothing new. Read Thomas Sowell's essay Black Rednecks and White Liberals. This "don't dis me or you die" kind of attitude was very prevalent in the Deep South going back to the 1800s.

This kind of attitude goes back to the antebellum South.

Was it dealt with the same way? I see a BIG difference in the way it was handled back then and the way it is handled now. Not similar at all.

When people add the 'but'...they justify the action. That's part of the problem.

There is NO justification for what this kid did to this man. And the principal had every right to remove the headphones. Let's not act like that's inappropriate or assault or anything other than exercising his authority.

Saying the principal shouldn't have done that is the second part of the problem.
