On March 31st, between 12:12 and 1:15 a freshman got into a fight with his classmate due to an argument before hand. It ended with one student walking away and another laying on the ground, bleeding from a wound at his side.
After the students got home that day, their parents and the media got a letter from the board.
The letter stated that two freshmen students started to fight around 1 p.m. One of the students grabbed a pencil and stabbed the other several times with it.
School resource officers took the student with the pencil into custody. The other student was taken to the hospital, but expected to be OK.
The principal said both will be disciplined and the student with the pencil will face criminal charges.
"Fighting is a violation of the school district's disciplinary code and will not be tolerated. Students who engage in fighting, use weapons and/or use objects as weapons will face school disciplinary consequences and criminal charges," they wrote.
Except that wasn't the case in the letter.
Instead of 'stabbed' it used the word 'poked'
Poked repeatedly with a pencil. That landed himself in the hospital.
They also said how many students had taken videos of the event and were asked to take them down.
Although that sounds like a reasonable thing to do the students weren't having it.
Many of them posted videos of the event along with pictures of his wound they took before he got his stitches, many with the caption "This is not a poke"
even though this mistake was cleared up there is still something the school has not released to the public and has, in fact, lied about.
He was not stabbed with just any pencil.
He was stabbed with a pocket knife.
The fact that the school has covered this up and even lied about it not only shows disrespect for the kid that got hurt, but also for the parents of that student.
To release the truth the school would be sent into lock down, but going into a lock down and having this event thoroughly investigated sounds like a more morally correct thing to do than tell students, teachers, parents, and the media that a freshman was sent to the hospital sorely because he was "Poked repeatedly with a pencil"
Please tag your friends here and spread awareness for this incident.
