According to a post by one of my friends on Facebook, "the school is on lock down with armed officers & there is word of a riot at 11. Apparently there has been 15 fights this week as well."

 

Anyone know what's going on?

Wasn't exactly a lockdown as I just took Nick out of school, but there were 10+ cops that I saw on my ten minutes there.

Good to hear you got him out. But on the 15 fights and this threat (or whatever it is), any insight on those?

Wow...we're talking about Independence, Kentucky here...not Compton.

Apparently there are some racial issues going on according to what has been posted to the FB thread I'm reading. Fights breaking out during class. Cops patrolling the halls and such. What the heck is going on at this school!?!

Yeah we have bbm tickets to get!

 

But on a serious note, it sounds like most of the drama is in the junior class. They have had a lot fights this week, girls included. I don't think the riot was much of anything, a few kids yelling back and forth in a hallway.

A lot is due to facebook drama. Amazing.

I work with a lady that has a Jr. at SK and she told me that there have been multiple fights this week as a result of the "N" word being dropped. She talked to the school board a few minutes ago who told her that the police being there today is to prevent the student planned "walkout" or "riot" that is being chattered about on facebook. I have heard at least one of the fights involved a football player as well. Sad case that it's 2012 and we still have these issues.

Wow, it IS sad that these racial issues are still happening. Sounds like the 60's.

That's just sad on so many levels.

It's more embarrassing than sad.

And we can start with the parents.

What is the racial makeup of Simon Kenton?

 

80/20 whites to blacks? Higher? Lower?

Simon Kenton IS NOT in LOCKDOWN!!! LAw enforcement is on sight all day in response to some threatening statements made on social media.

According to Wiki, Independence is 97% white.
