A high school in Texas not only held cage fights to settle differences, the principal is alleged to have set up some of these fights for his own entertainment.
Interestingly, the principal is no longer working at the school due to an investigation of a grade changing scandal and he was once a police officer who was put on administrative leave because he lied about being kidnapped so he could get out of work. Sounds like just the kind of guy these students needed as their role model.
I wonder how many parents knew that these fights were taking place? Is your child's school safe? How do you know? How do you know that the principal, teacher, or counselor is someone your child can look up to and be safe with? Are you blindly entrusting your child to someone just because a panel of people you never met hired them? The above principal had no business in this school. He lost all credibility when he lied as a sworn police officer. He couldn't be trusted to protect a city and yet someone trusted him to "protect" the children in this school.
Bring your children home where they belong.
