We have seen the ceremony at VT some minutes ago. It ended in a paroxysm of applauses, football hurras , shouting "we are the VT", and loud wows.

This is what I said above, and this is the subject that (IMHO) should be addressed immediately, in the US, in my country and all the world. An educational institution is not a football team. No internal brotherhoods should be allowed, no competitions be promoted, no seek for any kind of internal or external championship be accepted, and especially no discrimination or mockery against others in or out of the institution be tolerated.

To achieve this, it is not necessary to amend the constitution or create new laws, it is only a matter of orientation from the politic and educational authorities, it is their duty. And we as parents can claim for a change and get it done.

This will not solve the problem of the easy distribution of firearms, and will not cure psychotic personalities, but will surely configure a social environment where students could develop feelings of solidarity instead of anger and revenge.

And of course, we all know that we in particular, or our children, never became murders just for having been discriminated from some team. Let's see the problem in general, not in particular.
