A new report, "Indicators of School Crime and Safety," was a couple of weeks ago, the tenth in a series of annual publications produced jointly by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the Bureau of Justice Statistics in the U.S. Department of Justice. It provides the most recent data available on school crime and student safety. Though the (black) Jena 6 are threatened with the death penalty or life imprisonment for beating up a white student as a result of a series of racist events in town and in their school, it comes as no surprise to most of us that Black and Latino students are the most likely to be the victims of school violence. I know at Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO the American Indian students were used for a lot of bragging and grant money were also on an almost weekly basis, subject to violence from white students on campus. At least when I was there, American Indian students reported such to me.
