"Disturbing, gang-like graffiti is cropping up all over a Brooklyn elementary school, marring a playground, classrooms and two teachers' cars, authorities said."
"Authorities". Liberals simply love using that word as it makes teapot tempests appear Titanic-like.
"The troubling words "Jump White People" and abbreviation "JWP" have appeared at Public School 224 in East New York about a dozen times in the past three weeks, and some teachers are concerned that it's not being taken seriously."
Disturbing, troubling, what's next? Serious?
"It just quietly gets erased," one teacher said. "Nothing gets done."
The words were also scrawled in marker on a Snapple machine, desks and several walls, prompting four students ranging in age from 8 to 11 to be disciplined, cops said.
But the graffiti has continued to surface since the in-school suspensions. As recently as Wednesday, a staff member found JWP in a closet, a source said.
And teachers worry that the markings are not just a prank, but instead show that the kids are mimicking gang culture at a young age.
Forty staff members signed a letter to Principal George Andrews, Chancellor Joel Klein and other leaders asking for a more direct response, such as a letter home to parents and meetings with students in each grade.
Sterling Roberson, the teachers union director of school safety, said the problem requires more than punishment.
A spokeswoman for the Education Department said officials are looking into the graffiti.
"This is a serious concern, and we are investigating the issue," the spokeswoman said."
There it is! SERIOUS. Some 10-year-olds emulate their elders...isn't that correct, Reverend Wright...and teachers are ready to flee to New Jersey even if they have to swim it. Day after day, racial epithets are directed towards non-blacks as a matter of course in many NYC neighborhoods, but let a teacher experience what everyone else does and its time for the AUTHORITIES to step in.
If they hadn't have made graffiti acceptable as a way for "minority artists" to express themselves, maybe, just maybe they'd have a better understanding of what defacing public property meant.
