They would have and do. But they literally deal with shit like this every day there... Trying to keep the peace, trying to quiet the shit starters. They don't call the cops every day though, first step is administrator action. High school campuses, esp in areas like this are no place for ethnic/political statements. Put yourself in the shoes of administrators who in recent times have seen kids stomped, beaten, killed... Any little step out of line is going to be called into question. They've dealt with stuff like this since i was in High School in the 80s and 90s, and some of the administrators have been there since then and seen it all. The policy didn't just start yesterday. The action was based on policy that has come to be as a result of many incidents over the last 20 years.
