Two days after a series of fights at Hamilton High School that involved several parents and students being arrested and the school being put in lock-down… and a day after a student at Bradley Tech is found with a loaded pistol and a large amount of drugs in school, the Milwaukee School Board decides that the plan to allow security to use plastic handcuffs against out of control students, is a horrible idea… Hours later, two students (both girls) at Vincent High School were fighting, even after being taken into the office, were so out of control, that an assistant principal was injured when one of these out of control students threw a vase, shattered a mirror and cut his arm… Thank God this out of control student didn’t have her hands cuffed so she could be controlled.
Update: It has gotten worse
All reports from this afternoon.

They used that song in the opening of Lean On Me … sounds like we may need Joe Clark here too.

The incident at Vincent probably was worse than reported- the principal there hates to have any controversy at that school. But on the other hand, these things happen at any big city school district, many times, on a daily basis. I used to work at Vincent and assualted twice. Even though the adminstration didn’t want me to, I filed charges and the kid spent 30 days in jail. He was also ordered to get a diploma.
