It seems that most of the students so expelled are [minority, poor, ...] and, so the argument goes, the expulsions were yet another ploy to deny the benefits of education to [minority, poor, ...]. Truth is, the [minority, poor, ...] who were expelled were unruly. I think this is because they have role models who [reject any authority figures, put down the value of education, ...], but I have no real basis for such a belief (It is intuitively obvious ... :-) ). -- Blessed Be, Jeff Hull ihnp4!trwrb!trwspp!spp2!jhull 13817 Yukon Ave. Hawthorne, CA 90250
