2010 - Some posts a chain email.
When i first read this, my thought was, this was when I was in high school and didn't even need to go back to 1957. Don't know the origins, but this has been around for years with the year changing as time goes by.
Please don't cry "we've seen this before." I'm sure many of you have. there are some of us who haven't seen it before.
Scenario 1:
Jack goes quail hunting before school and then pulls into the school parking lot with his shotgun in his truck’s gun rack.
1957 - Vice Principal comes over, looks at Jack’s shotgun, goes to his car and gets his shotgun to show Jack.
2010 - School goes into lock down, FBI called, Jack hauled off to jail and never sees his truck or gun again. Counselors called in for traumatized students and teachers.
Scenario 2:
Johnny and Mark get into a fist fight after school.
1957 - Crowd gathers. Mark wins.. Johnny and Mark shake hands and end up buddies.
2010 – Police called and SWAT team arrives — they arrest both Johnny and Mark. They are both charged them with assault and both expelled even though Johnny started it.
Scenario 3:
Jeffrey will not be still in class, he disrupts other students.
1957 – Jeffrey sent to the Principal’s office and given a good paddling by the Principal. He then returns to class, sits still and does not disrupt class again.
2010 – Jeffrey is given huge doses of Ritalin. He becomes a zombie. He is then tested for ADD. The school gets extra money from the state because Jeffrey has a disability.
Scenario 4:
Billy breaks a window in his neighbor’s car and his Dad gives him a whipping with his belt..
1957 – Billy is more careful next time, grows up normal, goes to college and becomes a successful businessman.
2010 – Billy’s dad is arrested for child abuse. Billy is removed to foster care and joins a gang. The state psychologist is told by Billy’s sister that she remembers being abused herself and their dad goes to prison. Billy’s mom has an affair with the psychologist.
Scenario 5:
Mark gets a headache and takes some aspirin to school.
1957 – Mark shares his aspirin with the Principal out on the smoking dock.
2010 – The police are called and Mark is expelled from school for drug violations His car is then searched for drugs and weapons.
Scenario 6:
Pedro fails high school English.
1957 – Pedro goes to summer school, passes English and goes to college.
2010 – Pedro’s cause is taken up by state. Newspaper articles appear nationally explaining that teaching English as a requirement for graduation is racist. ACLU files class action lawsuit against the state school system and Pedro’s English teacher. English is then banned from core curriculum. Pedro is given his diploma anyway but ends up mowing lawns for a living because he cannot speak English.
Scenario 7:
Johnny takes apart leftover firecrackers from the Fourth of July, puts them in a model airplane paint bottle and blows up a red ant bed.
1957 – Ants die.
2010 - ATF, Homeland Security and the FBI are all called. Johnny is charged with domestic terrorism. The FBI investigates his parents — and all siblings are removed from their home and all computers are confiscated. Johnny’s dad is placed on a terror watch list and is never allowed to fly again.
Scenario 8:
Johnny falls while running during recess and scrapes his knee. He is found crying by his teacher, Mary. Mary hugs him to comfort him.
1957 – In a short time, Johnny feels better and goes on playing.
2010 – Mary is accused of being a sexual predator and loses her job. She faces 3 years in State Prison… Johnny undergoes 5 years of therapy.

You're the for treating it that way. I am not treating this as an email, asking to pass it around. I went to school during that time when we brought knives and guns to school, so go yourself because you haven't a clue of my reasons. This composition is a reflection of what zero tolerance really does. I see the 1957 representation as very close to accurate on my school in the 70's.
U mad?
I said you were posting it, which you did.
Blame it on all those kids who shot and stabbed people for ruining the fun of packing on school grounds for the rest of us.
Scenario 9:
1957 - Johnny takes Jada to the school dance. As they leave, a crowd gathers, follows them home, lynches Jada, and shoots Johnny.
That would be true in some areas, especially the south. Not where I'm at.
Isn't it worse that today we have government employees doing the damage to our kids than other kids?
I'd say the racial lynchings were worse.
As a crime yes. I was speaking as to who was damaging other people's lives. The government should not be damaging others lives like they do today.
Kids are still doing damage to other kids.
And parents are still damaging kids.
That hasn't changed.
I have no respect for all-star status on ST if a no talent ass-clown gets 2nd team. Who voted-your mom?
Libs want people to think whites and blacks never got along or hated each other. My grandfather went to a black/white school. there were wackos then just like there are now-baseline, chump, etc.
Envy isn't pretty.She's dead.Who voted-your mom?
It's very simple, SnC. Were there lynchings or not?
Hey, Wild Cobra...
Another great posting that deserves to be in the LIVING IN THE PAST/ANTI PROGRESSIVE/ANTI-TOLERANT FORUM
1957- White kids at school...."GOD DAMNED ######S USING MY WATERFOUNTAIN!!!!"
2010-"Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm BHO Mmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmm."
The good old times never really existed bro, unless you were a white male.
Is this a Tea Party Chain E-mail?
I want my America back (from the minorities)! Wah-wah, cry me a river.
So everything else is worse except for racial equality. Man we have it so good.
I'm just glad i can drink out of the same water fountain as whitey, this victory numbs me to the fact that our nation is going to face a depression, collapse of our economic situation, and increase towards a police state.
But hey, atleast i can live in the same shantytown with whitey!!!!!!!
yess ah ummm mmmm.. the river jordan... hmmm. mmm..
Anti Progressive is not a bad thing, Greece could sure use some of that right now.
Heck, I remember taking guns to school in the 70's. We would bring our shotguns and when school was out we would load up in one car and go dove hunting. Heck, the coach in charge of the parking lot would watch us do it.
What I see today is that most blacks are racists, and almost no whites are.
Think about it. Black parents keep telling their kids that we are the bad guys.
When will the blacks end racism?
The black kids when I was in school were fully integrated into the social groups. Must be a North-West thing. We didn't grow up with racism.
Jump to conclusions much?
I traced this back to 2007, it may go back farther but I think it was created for the 50 year span.

Uhhhh, you did notice that right or wrong, the US democratically elected a black President, didn't you?
I'm not looking farther. Here is the oldest I found, dated 12/16/2006:
When We Were Teens
Fits my era better too. Not an even 50 years, so possible the original version:
