The day after the election a white male in one of her classes went on a rant about 'he wasn't going to let Obama take their guns'. She was leaving the class as a black female began to educate him. By the time she returned to class, the boy had been sent home. She said this kind of stuff was going on all over the school. (School is about 80-90% white)

By the end of the day the Principal made an announcement over the PA...He said something to the effect that Obama was the President Elect and he would not tolerate any disrespect on the campus. He wanted no more discussions of the election since it was causing problems on the campus.

I am pretty certain chants of "Assassinate Obama" on the buses, wouldn't be tolerated in this town where 75% of the parish voted McCain.
