I was gonna say I didn't understand why the New Orleans kids had to go to a disciplinary school - does anyone know what they've been through?? - but perhaps they were partially to blame for something and that spokesperson just didn't mention it.
My first thought was the "turf" thing, too. If it was whites against whites, then, yeah, the Texas kids were probably just some dumb jerks who weren't thinking straight. But if it was [Texas] whites against [New Orleans] blacks, then there could have been racial issues involved as well (and in that case, I still wouldn't understand why the NO kids needed a disciplinary school).
Either way, I still initially pin the blame on the Texans. Hope this post made sense, 'cause it did in my head.
