The first rule of South Oak Cliff High School ...

Plano, Southlake, Colleyville, etc. happened.

 

Good point.

 

Of course Plano is now the leader in drug overdose deaths among North Texas school districts.

 

You're presuming a lot of these kids had parents at home.

Has Oak Cliff Now passed Dallas Carter as a completely crooked high school?

 

Carter cleaned up its act a long time ago.

 

We boxed at my public high school.
To settle mild disputes, my football coach would have us put on our helmets and boxing gloves then duke it out.
But that isn't anything like the fight club scenario described in Dallas.

 

Here's column from the DMN about the story and the reaction.

And, no surprise, the primary negative public reaction is towards the DMN for even reporting this.

 

That's been the case for about 10 years now, but Fort Worth is catching up with its "cheese."

 

If anybody knows anything about Dallas, this isn't surprising. South Oak Cliff area of Dallas isn't one you ant to venture into even in the middle of an sunny afternoon. South Oak Cliff High School long ago was one of the roughest places to be. And I'm sure no one ever sees anything bad happen there.

 

S-O-C! S-O-C!

 

I'll stand corrected on the issue of parental concern then. Sounds like getting beat up is the least of your worries at that place. Maybe they should hire Jim Belushi or Morgan Freeman to run the show.
