Call for tolerance training in Minneapolis schools after spat becomes 300-person brawl
A Minnesota-based Muslim group called for authorities to intervene in a Minneapolis high school with mediation and tolerance training, days following cafeteria spat between two girls that erupted into a 300-person brawl largely divided along racial lines.
The fight was so large that police were called in even after nearly 30 staffers intervened, according to The Star Tribune. Three Minneapolis South High School students and one faculty member were hospitalized following the dust-up, leaving police spokesperson Sgt. William Palmer to marvel that more damage wasn’t inflicted.
“We’re very fortunate no one got seriously injured,” he told the Tribune. “I honestly can’t recall a [similar] situation of this magnitude.”
