I don't know the answer to your question, RationalRose.

But I can tell you this:

During the past week here in the Washington, DC area, the top local news story has been about the killing of young high school student. The student was a young man, and he was killed by another student who had somehow managed to get a gun past the metal detectors and into the school itself.

The young man who was killed as on the football team of the high school. He had, according to all who knew him, quite a promising future ahead.

He was also African-American.

I head the Chairwoman of the local Board of Education (who happens to be White) say on the radio last night that she is partly to blame for this young man's death.
