Public School Intolerance

(Columbus, Ohio) Take a look at this story:
Members of the Somali community are calling for peace between Somali and non-foreign students in Columbus Public Schools after students said a fight at Linden McKinley High School pitted Somalis against other African-American students, NewsChannel 4's Natalie Walston reported.
Apparently, the fighting has been occurring for several years and it exists throughout the school system. Officials are looking to form a task force to reduce the level of violence.

The cause of the whole circumstance is inexplicable. Since the tension is between two African-American student populations, it can't be racially motivated. And, since it's generally recognized that only white people are capable of intolerance, this can't be a case of intolerance. It also can't be a case of lack of diversity since everyone involved is African-American which would indicate total diversity.

Hopefully, a solution to the problem will be found before somebody gets killed.
