On Monday two teens at Oakville High School were fighting in the school’s cafeteria and the vice principal tried to intervene and break it up, according to the St. Louis County Police Department.
Instead he was assaulted by a 15-year-old and two 16-year-old students who kicked, punched and tackled him to the ground. Another student recorded the beatdown and posted it to the social media site Snapchat, the NY Daily News reports.
The principal sent a letter home to parents saying: “We understand that video of the fight has been shared on social media, and we’ve received several calls checking on the welfare of our staff and students. All of our staff and students are OK. We are investigating the matter, and discipline will be rendered as detailed in our district disciplinary policy,” the letter said.
According to the outlet, no one was severely hurt and the students were seen by the school nurse. The principal however was transferred to a local urgent care facility for treatment, police say.

Kiddie Fight Club
You never know what’s happening in schools and in one preschool in particular, a disturbing video has surfaced showing preschool children allegedly being made to fight each other in a violent ‘Fight Club’ style brawl organized by their teachers.
The clip was filmed in December 2016 through a classroom window on an iPad by the 10-year-old brother of one of the victims, but was just recently made public. In it, you can see the child crying after reportedly enduring three fights.
The teachers at Adventure Learning Center were reportedly acting as fight promoters for a one-day fight club featuring the preschoolers boxing each other back in December 2016. Since the heater had broken, the lead teacher thought it was a good idea to pass the time by having the babies kick each other’s butt in an effort to entertain the preschool crowd, Fox 2 reports.
A 10-year-old child recorded the brawl on his iPad because his little brother was involved. He said his brother was crying his eyes out after being forced to fight at least three times.
