South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas is the subject of an investigation into whether or not administrators put black and Latino kids in a steel cage to fist-fight one another. While the principal of the school has denied charges - in grammatically daring HillBillyBonics, no less - teachers, students and others at the school say the charges are true.

South Oak Cliff High (referred to as SOCH, as in Soch it to me, holmes) has many famed athletes on its alumni roster, including Dennis Rodman. But, according to a wiki page on the school and another on the district, the school was mostly white back when Rodman went there. (This explains the fishnet stockings.) Now, the school is predominantly Latino and African American.

Gomez thinks HBO and others could help a lot by allowing Latino men other than boxers to get dramatic scripted shows. Maybe they could consider casting Esai Morales next time as a sensitive, loving patriarch in a polygamist Mormon family in Utah; that way all of America will find him and all Latino males earnest, hardworking and kind.

Please don't ask Gomez why this story appears on the Sports page instead of the Education page or Human Rights page. It was on the sports page in the NY Times, and Gomez thinks the NY Times is always correct, so. Orale.
