Apparently one incident means we have to cancel everything now.

It's almost like they're teaching the kids that actions have consequences, and that they can end up paying the price for the actions of their peers.

Why do the 99.99% of kids who didn't partake in this have to suffer the consequences?

Because learning their lesson by now by getting homecoming canceled is preferable to learning it later from bombs, artillery and head-chopping religious fanatics.

Horrible horrible act and the one(s) who did it need punished, but that's the way it is today.....everyone pays.

Everyone has always paid.

Families in Puerto Rico are paying because people voted for Trump. Children dying to bombs and disease in the Middle East pay because we didn't hold our government to higher standard. Their parents are getting their heads chopped off by religious fanatics because far too many people were willing to give extremist beliefs a pass, or even encourage them.

Pretending that hatred is consequence-free, that what your neighbors, classmates, and fellow voters do doesn't affect you is a deceptive and dangerous luxury no society should ever encourage. But especially now America needs to teach our youth that allowing hate, racism and intolerance to flourish will result in grave consequences or us all in the future.

Not very good at math are you?
Can you come up with an exact percentage?

Alright, I did the math. If one student was responsible for the vandalism then 99.85401459854015% of students would be innocent. My estimate was pretty close.

Not only are you so bad at math that you think being wrong by a factor of ten is close, your reading comprehension is terrible too.

Even if it was 10 students, 99.85% of students would still be innocent. That still doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of students weren't involved.
