"My question is what can be done about the ones who don't feel that there's anything wrong with feeling justified in doing things like that."

                The people who hang the nooses, as far as we know, were kids too. They very well might have realized that there was something wrong with what they did if the principal's original punishment had been left to stand.

                It seems as though Congress is now getting involved. Some members think that the noose hanging should be investigated as a federal "Hate Crime." If that process is pursued to its obvious conclusion, there are going to be some very angry young people getting out of jail in a few years.

                Is this the way to address racism?
