Brawl Breaks Out at California Preschool Graduation

[The Northerner]

A nasty brawl broke out at preschool graduation in California reportedly over a single cap and gown, leaving at least one parent injured and the young graduates wailing.

The fight broke out at Lenicia B. Weemes Elementary School in Los Angeles on June 7 and an unidentified parent posted the video on YouTube this week.

“This all started because my son’s teacher was so unorganized,” the parent wrote below the video. “Basically because of budget issues all the kids had to share a cap and gown for pictures. One of the moms in the video was basically taking over and the other one didn’t like it and told her something about it.”

In the grainy video, a crowd of women can be seen shoving each other, throwing punches and shouting. Children can be heard screaming and at one point, a woman shouts, “Get the kids out! Get the kids out!”

1. I'd have to wonder just who the "kids" are.

... if conduct is any indication.

2. Preschool "graduation"?

Really now, what are you celebrating, that your kid is toilet trained and can color inside the lines?

3. uh...A cap and gown for PRESCHOOL is a little over-the-top

Just have the kids wear their Sunday best, which is what my pre-school did...
