PEMBROKE PINES, Fla.–A third teenager has been arrested for her role in a brutal fight between students at West Broward High School.
The beating was caught on camera.
The school’s principal sent a letter to parents stating that those who recorded the fight would also face consequences.
Video of this latest incident shows five girls savagely punching a classmate at the Pembroke Pines high school on Jan. 24.
Two of the girls were previously arrested, and Wednesday authorities announced the arrest of a third girl who was involved. Two of the three girls are 17 years old and the third is a 15-year-old.
The victim is recovering after suffering a mild concussion. She told police she is still suffering painful headaches since the attack.
The entire incident prompted the school’s principal to release a statement which read, in part:
“Students who videotape and / or incite a disturbance are also subject to disciplinary consequences. We are actively putting things in place to eliminate this behavior.”
Why would a student recording and not involved in the fight be subject to disciplinary consequences?
According to Broward County Public Schools, the principal’s reasoning is that, “The behavior incites and increases fights and disruptive activity.”
Local 10 News’ legal expert David Weinstein confirmed that can be the case.
“Yes, as a student on school property, you could get in trouble for taking out your cell phone and videotaping something which you wouldn’t get in trouble for if you were on public property doing the same thing at a time when you were not engaged as part of a school process,” (snip) it is not a right, but a privilege, to attend a public school, and the school has a right to restrict the activities that take place on their property that interferes with learning."

“...it is not a right...to attend a public school”, said the “legal expert”.
Huh???
Without video they wouldn’t be able to take action against the bullies. So the principal is trying to make sure he’s never held accountable in the future.
it is not a right, but a privilege, to attend a public school,
Not according to the liberals’
1) If you are a bystander and jump in to help the person being pummeled, the school will punish you for fighting.
2) If you are a bystander and film the fight, collecting evidence which may help bring bad people to justice, the school will punish you.
3) If you are a bystander and just walk on by, allowing evil to do whatever it wants, the school will find no fault in you. Good job!
Since it is mandated to attend public school, that statement is technically correct.
Another black on white beat down.
“five girls savagely punching a classmate....
Can they say since this is a typical day they shouldn’t report it?
They probably got the bullet proof backpacks when they first came out.
Somebody’s society is sick and I think it’s ours.
I wonder if there is something about the participants that the principal wants to cover up? Perhaps something which derails The Narrative.
Sure doesn't feel like a right or privilege paying the property taxes when they roll around. Schools suck up about half of those taxes and in a few states its higher.
Whatever happens in Fight Club, stays in Fight Club.
(from the comments)
I do hope the parents sue the principal personally.
Retribution is coming, when whites get tired of being beaten up.
It’s happening everywhere. Two 13 yr old sons of Obama beat up a 9 year old white girl on a bus the other day. Matt Walsh said it was too brutal to show the video on his program. This CRT bullshit is going create a race war.
Ummmm or maybe the principal doesn't want the press - AND PARENTS - knowing how many of our schools are mini hellholes.
I decline the “privilege” and will take a voucher, thank you.
That is precisely the intent.
If the videos get out the outrage occurs and the principal may be forced to pretend that he is doing something about it.
