They didn't used to be made famous by it, they just used to get suspended.

I totally agree AGDee!! My mom made pretty much the exact same comment as you when we talked about all these things today. She just thinks these kids want to be able to go back and see how "cool" they were when they beat up someone.
I believes, its the PARENTS! Seriously, it is getting pretty ridiculous nowadays. I don't know if any of you remember George Lopez's comedy routine about the Mexican mother vs the American mother in a store w/ the crying child. Race/ethnicity aside, this analogy holds true. You have more and more mothers nowadays who think that by taking away a "gold star" will teach their child how to improve their behavior.
Kids aren't afraid of their parents, in fact many parents are afraid of their kids. They want to be the kids best friend and not give the kid any guidelines or rules. Its beyond ridiculous. I mean, I am going to want to be my kid's friend, but not at the expense of my role as mom.
