HEARTBREAKING FAILURE
Re Six Students Charged With Assault At Private School (Nov. 20): This is a
heartbreaking and epic failure of Christian education, culminating in a vitriolic and
self-righteous media feeding frenzy. The victims were failed; the alleged perpetrators
were failed.
Both will bear lifelong scars of victimhood and guilt because the apparently willfully
blind in charge could have anticipated the possibility of such events and taken
preemptive steps to educate, monitor and enforce. It puts the lie to the assumption
that schools, public or private, will make up for the negligence of parents.
The students might as well be on a deserted Island fending for themselves ... Lord of
the Flies.
