Battle it out like gladiators, kids

Here's yet another shining example of stuff that truly only happens in America (particularly down south): a Dallas school is under intense suspicion and surveillance following numerous reports of forcing its students to solve their problems 'like men' – ie. throwing them in a metal cage and forcing them to fight it out bare-knuckled.

The report, first obtained by The Dallas Morning News, describes two instances of fighting in an equipment cage in a boys' locker room between 2003 and 2005. It was not clear from the report whether there were other fights.

Superintendent Michael Hinojosa told the newspaper that there were "some things that happened inside of a cage" and called the fights "unacceptable."

No criminal charges were ever filed, and there was no mention in the report of whether anyone required medical attention or whether any employees were disciplined. A district spokesman would not comment.

I wonder why, whenever accused or barbaric stupidity like this, those being accused of it never seem to be inclined to comment ... hmm.

Certainly a disturbing story like many others that seem to be flooding out from the place, but then, one's gotta remember: it is Dallas, Texas, Retarded Hick American Land, after all.

Thanks to Melissa for sending me this story.
