Quote of the Day

A Dallas high school basically had students engaging in cage fights for some reason. Even better reason for the quote? The beautiful, eloquent english that the Principal speaks at the end.

The principal and other staff members at South Oak Cliff High School were supposed to be breaking up fights. Instead, they sent troubled students into a steel utility cage in an athletic locker room to battle it out with bare fists and no head protection, records show.

Donald Moten, who was principal at South Oak Cliff High at the time, denied any wrongdoing when contacted Wednesday.

Internal district reports obtained by The News describe a culture of sanctioned violence in which school employees and even the principal relied on “the cage” to settle disputes and bring unruly students under control.

Moten, along with security monitors and other employees, “knew of the practice, allowed it to go on for a time, and failed to report it,” investigators for the DISD’s Office of Professional Responsibility wrote in a confidential 2008 report.

“That’s barbaric. You can’t do that at a high school. You can’t do that anywhere,” Moten said. “Ain’t nothing to comment on. It never did happen. I never put a stop to anything because it never happened.”
