A high school in Dallas, Texas was accused of allegedly making students settle their differences by fighting bare-knuckle brawls inside a steel cage. The principal and other employees of South Oak Cliff High knew about the cage fights and they allowed them to continue. The first report describes two instances of fighting in an equipment cage in a boys' locker room between 2003 and 2005. No criminal charges were ever filed, and there was no mention in the report of whether anyone required medical attention or whether any employees were disciplined. The allegations came to light during a grade-fixing investigation that eventually ost the high school its 2005 and 2006 state basketball titles.
A student told his mother that the students would stand around clapping and screaming while watching a fight he participated in. Another report said a hall monitor, Gary King, told investigators he witnessed the head of campus security and an assistant basketball coach place two students in the cage to fight. Another hall monitor, Reno Savala, told investigators he came upon two students fighting in the cage "bare-fisted with no head or eye protection." "It was gladiator-style entertainment for the staff," employees said. The allegations came about 10 days after law enforcement authorities reported that workers at a Corpus Christi institution forced mentally disabled residents to fight each other and recorded the brawls for their entertainment. No charges have been filed yet on the case.
