bill: in the impact segment tonight, we have been telling you that there is a shocking amount of violence against teachers by students in t nation s public schools. the national media pretty much ignoring the story, perhaps beuse the powerful teacher unions don t want americans to know about it. recently abc news exposed a terrible situation at the strawberry mansion high school iiladelphia. some kids coming to learn. others on this school year there have been 49 serious incidents like the ones we have filmed. one day boys fist fight. on another day girls attacking each other and the princial is caught in the middle. incidents include attacking teachers. settle fires. it s time for lunch, just before noon. this is the most serious part i know that they outnumber me. i don t know if i have
are in those precincts. and let s expand the discussion. in new york city, 80% of all the shootings in the nation s largest town are blacks. if you add hispanic shooters, 98% of all the shootings in new york city are minority. less than 1% are white. so you are seeing not only violence in the schools, but then it translates out into the streets almost minorityprecincts.he yeah. bill: and you say? this is a politically inconvenient fact. bill: this is a hot button, boy. the overwhelming number of violent crimes are considered by minorities blacks and hispanics and they are not just the criminals, they are also the victims. bill: that s right. that s an important point. so it is gang activity and it s minority on minority violence. bill: so you, in new york, we have this thing stop and frisk where the police take the guns and
