Ok I am glad that this helped Monroe High School and the whole hour they all got along.
Now lets get down to the real nitty gritty, if those children did not know the Cameras were on them would they have done this? Honestly... I do not think so.
It is wonderful to say they helped this school however I would like to see this school in 6 months and see where these 65 students are without them knowing where the cameras are.
Schools are not the homes of students and the HOME life is what needs to be focused on, we all have problems and we all face them differently.
being GAY, pregnant, black, white,asian,mexican,
Do we really care when we leave to go home? Once again the majority of problems begin at HOME.
Racism is very well ALIVE and always will be, we will never be in a country without it, so hold you heads up and say You will not bother me, I will be who I am and I will never be less then you. SAY IT
We need to stop blaming others and start looking in the HOMES, PArents need to STEP up to the plate and teach and educate your children about everyday life.
Stop letting other people RAISE your CHILDREN.
Stop letting your children think it is ok to make excuses for what they are doing or what they are not doing..This is a good show however it is not gonna change anything until the home life of each child is changed.

After Jena, Nooses Found at N.C. School
A day after civil rights figures led a massive protest in Jena, La., where racial tensions flared after nooses were hung from a tree outside Jena High School, more nooses were found on a tree outside another southeastern high school.
A total of four nooses were found Friday around the campus of Andrews High School in High Point, N.C., police said.
Two nooses were hung on a tree in front of the school, one was in a bus loop near the upperclassmen's parking lot, and one red noose was tied to the top of the school flagpole, High Point Police Capt. Margaret Erga said, citing a police report.
Erga said school administrators discovered the nooses around 8:30 a.m. and immediately notified authorities, who officially filed the report at 10:41 Friday morning.
Extra police officers were brought to the campus and security was in force at Andrews High School for the remainder of the day.
Police told ABCNews.com that the extra security will continue at least through the weekend, with several officers patroling at any given time.
No charges have been filed, police said, but the investigation is ongoing.
School officials commented on the incident in a message on the Guilford County Schools' Web site.
"These discriminatory acts will not be tolerated in or against our schools," the school board statement said. "Those found to be responsible for this criminal act will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
Sonya Conway, executive director of district relations for Guilford County Schools, told The News-Record, a local newspaper, that school would open Monday as usual.
"We're taking it very seriously," Police Capt. Erga said. "Monday morning, our detectives will begin working with the school resource officer at Andrews, who knows the students best."
In a similar event at Jena High School in Louisiana, three white students were accused of hanging nooses from a tree, after which six black students were accused of beating a white classmate and initially charged with attempted murder.
Those charges were later reduced, then dropped or struck down -- though one black student remains jailed as the local prosecutor prepares to refile charges.

Jena, Louisiana........Race Issues, Racial Tensions
Six black students at Jena High School in Central Louisiana were arrested last December after a school fight in which a white student was beaten and suffered a concussion and multiple bruises. The six black students were charged with attempted murder and conspiracy. They face up to 100 years in prison without parole. The fight took place amid mounting racial tension after a black student sat under a tree in the schoolyard where only white students sat. The next day three nooses were hanging from the tree. [includes rush transcript]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jena is a small town nestled deep in the heart of Central Louisiana. Until recently, you may well have never heard of it. But this rural town of less than 4,000 people has become a focal point in the debate around issues of race and justice in this country.
Last December, six black students at Jena High School were arrested after a school fight in which a white student was beaten and suffered a concussion and multiple bruises. The six black students were charged with attempted second-degree murder and conspiracy. They face up to 100 years in prison without parole. The Jena Six, as they have come to be known, range in age from 15 to 17 years old.
Just over a week ago, an all-white jury took less than two days to convict 17 year-old Mychal Bell, the first of the Jena Six to go on trial. He was convicted of aggravated battery and conspiracy charges and now faces up to 22 years in prison.
Black residents say that race has always been an issue in Jena, which is 85 percent white, and that the charges against the Jena Six are no exception.
The origins of the story can be traced back to early September when a black high school student requested permission to sit under a tree in the schoolyard where usually only white students sat. The next day three nooses were found hanging from the tree.
***** Why was there allowed a Whites Only tree anyhow?****
***** Why were the WHITE STUDENTS NOT CHARGED WITH ANY CRIME?****
