Dallas School Allegedly Staged Cage Fights Among Students

An inner-city high school in Dallas, Texas has been slapped (and/or roundhouse kicked) with allegations that it allowed or even forced students to settle their differences by cage fighting. It’s not April Fool’s day for another two weeks, right? Hm.

The allegations claim the school’s principal and other staff were aware of the cage fights and did not do anything to stop them. You know what? Tony is such an unbelievable mound of assjerky in remedial geometry anyway. Let him get his face turned into a giant cauliflower. A report states they were at least two instances of fights between 2003 and 2005, held in an equipment cage kept in the boys’ locker room. 

Local killjoy Jerome Garza of the Dallas school board had this to say: “More than anything, I’m in shock and disbelief - shocked that this could ever occur and shocked that it would be condoned by a professional administrator.”

It is shocking. More shocking? That they didn’t sell tickets. The money made from Student Slamdown ‘09 would have blown the French Club’s bakesale out of the water.

Superintendent Michael Hinojosa acknowledged that there were “some things that happened inside of a cage.” Meanwhile, Angela Williamson, a parent of one of the school’s students, says she was ignored when she tried to alert the school board that her son had been involved in a cage fight at school while other students clapped and cheered. She said she spoke to the coach who had encouraged the fights, but he was all like, “Haha!”

Frank Hammond, a counselor at the school who was fired and is how filing a lawsuit against the school district, supports Williamson’s story. Says Hammond:  ”It was gladiator-style entertainment for the staff. They were taking these boys downstairs to fight. And it was sanctioned by the principal and security.”

You may recall that something similar went down at a school for the disabled in Corpus Christi. Dagnabbit, Texas school employees. What’s your beef?
