This from Norfolk's Virginian-Pilot, the opening of a story concerning violence against teachers in the public schools (article not yet online):

The girls almost made it through lunch before they started slugging each other.

They shared a table in the Hunt-Mapp Middle School cafeteria, a pair of 14-year-olds chatting and then arguing over who had gained the most weight during their recent pregnancies. Carolyn J. Smith, a teacher of three decades sensed a fight brewing.

I am fascinated that, in the Pilot's view, the newsworthy point of this story is not that these girls both became pregnant at thirteen, but that they were fighting about it at fourteen.

There truly is a culture war in this country, and it is clear which side the media occupies.
