Massachusetts school requests National Guard to be brought in to crackdown on students running amok: 'They're cutting class, having sex and doing drugs'

Committee members at a Massachusetts school have requested that the National Guard be brought in to deal with unruly students 'causing chaos'.

Violence and security concerns have been raised at Brockton High School, with 11 students arrested and criminally charged just last week after a brawl in the school.

Committee members Joyce Asack, Tony Rodrigues, Claudio Gomes and Ana Oliver requested immediate assistance last week 'to prevent a potential tragedy'.

Their letter said: 'Over the past few months, our high school has experienced a disturbing increase in incidents related to violence, security concerns, and substance abuse.

‘The situation has reached a critical point, more recently we had an alarming 35 teachers absent, underscoring the severity of the challenges we are facing.’ The letter added: 'We are formally requesting that you reach out to Governor Healey and request the deployment of the National Guard to assist in restoring order, ensuring the safety of all individuals on the school premises, and implementing measures to address the root causes of the issues we are facing.'

Cellphone footage obtained by NBC Boston shows students fighting in a stairwell at the school.

Several individuals can be seen throwing punches and attacking each other during the melee.

Earlier this month, teachers voiced their concerns during an emergency committee meeting and shared their experiences.

The order of response is city, count, then state cops. There is also mutual aid if it it becomes a riot.

A local official is calling for changes at the State Training School for Boys in Eldora. Hardin County Supervisor B-J Hoffman says the school should no longer be part of the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services. “We’ve asked that the state of Iowa transition the State Training School to the auspices of the Department of Corrections and put some actual security out there,”


Iowa has another idea.

Brockton? Figures. That city taught San Fran how to run itself nicely! 🤓

If you look up 'Craphole Cities' in the dictionary, there's a picture of Brockton.

Welcome to the Post-Civilization world. This the change which the Democrat Party worked for decades to bring down upon us.

Yup, just what obama promised.

Just another reason to homeschool.

That’s all that socialization that homeschoolers miss out on.

Hartford Public High, you mean? I think National Lampoon Christmas Vacation was based on a trip I took through Brockton in 1977. At a traffic light, my tires were stolen from my station wagon... 🤓

Yes. Hartford Public.

This 10th grade white kid was tossed into a game against them. Boy, that was a shock.

> “they’re cutting class, having sex, and doing drugs”.

They say that like it's a bad thing.

> And that’s just the teachers.

Setting a good example, don'tcha know.
