Kindergarten Brawl Breaks Out During Graduation Ceremony

A kindergarten brawl broke out during a graduation ceremony.

The kindergarten brawl started when someone spilled their punch and resulted in another type of punch being thrown. The kindergarten brawl resulted in the arrest of eight people.

The kindergarten brawl began at Michael R. White Elementary School when two teenage girls started hitting each other and their families joined in while the kindergarten graduation ceremony was ending.

Cleveland police Commander Wayne Drummond said, “The brawl involved teenagers and adults, and the police were called when one participant pulled out a pipe and another a hammer, but no one was seriously injured.”

“No students enrolled at the school were involved,” said school district communications officer Roseann Canfora in an email.

The quick police response to the kindergarten brawl was important because of heightened concerns about school security. City Councilman Jeff Johnson said the kindergarten brawl should shame the parents:

“It is embarrassing that parents during a kindergarten promotion cannot control themselves, and what we tried to do was respond quickly,and those that where arrested were charged with aggravated rioting and any parent involved in the fight should be banned from the building. We’re not going to have people coming into our schools, being disrespectful and fighting so I support them being hauled off.”

Do you think the kindergarten brawl indicates that parents are taking these graduation ceremonies way too seriously?
