I haven't made up my mind about this issue, so I figured I'd hear what you have to say!
I won't allow Wikipedia in the classroom, but damned if I didn't have trouble finding a succinct online overview of the debacle (and anything that involves the Rev Al Charlatan is a debacle):
Or check out the latest dope at:
What are you waiting for? Get pigeoned!

This whole Jena 6 thing is a mess. Convoluted and twisted are the first things that come to mind when I think of it.
I truly think there has to be more to it. This had to have been an overflow on messy things. It could not have been related to a single incident... at least I hope not.
Hanging the noose was tacky in the extreme, the response to that incident has been even worse. If they did it simply because of the noose, then it can be considered a major over reaction. Violence is wrong and there are other ways to deal.

What do I think about the Jena 6?
I think this about sums it up.
