This footage–taken from YouTube.com– is believed to have been shot by students for the purpose of further humiliating their victims. We show these clips here to illustrate just how far out of control the violence and bullying in Espanola secondary schools has spiraled. All of the following clips are from the past few years and were shot during school hours in either the Espanola middle school or high school.
WARNING: These clips contain strong language and violence.

I taught at Cibola High School in the 1980s and 1990s, when it was the largest public school in the state. Anything that happens in a classroom is the responsibility of the teacher; problems in the hall are to be dealt with by any and all teachers in adjoining rooms. There is no excuse for the total absence of supervision shown in these clips. Heads should roll, beginning with the principal. Students are entitled to a civilized environment; failure to provide this is unacceptable.
