students forced out of school by racist bullying

Sad, aggravating story out of the Houston area, where the parents of twin boys were forced to take their kids out of school due to persistent racist bullying and name-calling: Kingwood couple: Racist bullies forced sons to withdraw from school.

The boys, who attended Creekwood Middle School, are 11 years old and were born in the United States. But their parents were born in India, which is apparently reason enough for other kids -- being the f$%king young assholes they are -- to pick on them.

The boys say they've been repeatedly punched, kicked and called names like "terrorist" and "Osama bin Laden" for the entire school year:
"They’ve called me a terrorist and punched me in the neck," said one of the boys, who asked not to be identified by name.

"They’ve said I look like Osama bin Laden and called me the underwear bomber," added his brother.

The boys said the harassment has been going on for the entire school year, and that it escalated in April.

"The bullies punched me in the eye and shaved off my eyebrow," he said.
While the boys' parents filed numerous complaints with the school district, the harassment never let up. The bullying got so bad, they were forced to take the kids out to home-school them.

The district, in turn, sent the parents a letter threatening to fine them up to $500 a day if the children don't return to school. Riiiight, because that's getting to the heart of this problem.

Heads up. To the folks calling the shots at the Humble Independent School District, doing nothing less than jack shit to keep these boys safe... I sense a lawsuit coming your way very soon.
