One in 10 American public schools experienced serious violence such as rape or robbery last year, said a first-of-its-kind survey released by the White House. For all public schools nationwide that translates to an estimated total of 11,000 physical attacks or fights in which a weapon was used; 7,000 robberies; and 4,000 rapes or other kinds of sexual assault.
