That or I was pretty protected at the time, Sierra & Del Mar were way out in the suburbs when I was a kid. I understand it's built all the way to Friant now. Even so, I grew up in a neighborhood with mixed minorities, religions and even a gay guy next door. Race was never as big an issue as it is there now. Just makes me so sad that things went so haywire.

I hope you will try to get a group of parents together and make change. At least in your school. There should be some kind of bullying program, a uniform discipline program, something that has proven to work and a principal that knows how to set a tone of academic excellence and success. I think one good parent can be a much greater force than a few disruptive kids.
