Houston,TX
U.S. Rep. Al Green released a statement Saturday condemning a violent confrontation between two students at Thurgood Marshall High School last week.
Cell phone video of the April 27 incident shows students
crowded in a stairwell watching sophomore girls beat each other, one
swinging what’s said to be a sock with a metal lock in the toe. One
girl’s head was busted open and required staples.
“We cannot continue to react. Many times, reaction means somebody has already been hurt. School safety
is everyone’s responsibility,” Green said during a press conference,
calling on parents, students, teachers and officials to do more to
prevent school violence.
