An Arkansas kindergarten graduation descended into madness when a large brawl broke out between parents, forcing school officials to scold the “unacceptable” behavior displayed in front of the little tykes.
Several adults threw punches at each other in the hallway of West Memphis’ Faulk Elementary on Wednesday as the frightened screams of nearby children filled the crowded corridor.
Multiple men and women were in the center of the melee, plowing through the school as other parents rushed to get their children away from the danger, according to video obtained by WREG. Kids could also be heard crying “stop” in the video.

Arkansas should give West Memphis to Tennessee. There no difference between them and actual Memphis.

What is with "kindergarten graduations"? I remember seeing photos of Trayvon Martin in a kindergarten cap ad gown as though that would matter when he was shot dead by a man he was trying to kill?

Why did I know what race was involved even before I looked? There has got to be something in the genes that predisposes far too many to violence. Otherwise, how do you explain the short fuse of so many?

West Mogadishu-on-the-Mississippi. I felt bad until the video showed other brawls elsewhere involving a diverse collection of combatants. Of course none of them were kindergarten graduations but see, it's not just the usual suspects.

Does kindergarten have a metal detector? They need one.
Little Junior and Little Missy have to be taught to be civilized. Behavior like this tells me it's certainly not happening at home. It spills over at school. Act civilized and the savages think you are a target.
Little Junior and Little MIssy don't stand a chance and grow up to be savages.
Btw, look for the perps to sue each other and sue the school.

This is the life these children lead. I beg to differ with #10. This is normal to these kids. They have no mental scars from these events. They have moral scars that start from the first moments of life in these environments.

"I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever
forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality ... I will add to this that I have never seen, to my knowledge, a man, woman, or child who
was in favor of producing a perfect equality, social and political, between negroes
and white men"

Re #11, for some groups, graduating kindergarten is a high honor, perhaps the highest level of education accomplishment that the person is likely to attain.
So, they treat it like graduating from a four year college.

The word "parents" and the careful avoidance of the race of those involved says it all. This is unfortunately becoming routine. Lucianne is probably one of the few sites where we can say this openly and honestly.

When parents of the graduates were in their place only 15 or less years than the grads this is the outcome. Babies having babies.

And to think that kindergarten was originally designed by Europeans to socialize children to get along peaceably for the rest of their school careers.

I could write paragraphs about this. It's the culture, not the color. I'm a JROTC instructor at a very diverse inner-city high school in Ohio. We have aliens (or immigrants, whatever) from a bunch of African countries, e.g., Sudan, Congo, Rwanda, Kenya, Eritrea, Ghana, Nigeria, and more. Almost all of these kids are escaping war and chaos in their birth countries. They appreciate the opportunities here. This year, they earned a large percentage of the scholarship money. Like most of us here at Lucianne.com, I'm appalled at the flood of illegals FJB turned loose on our country. But, for the last 10 years, I've learned first-hand that culture distinguishes behavior. "My" kids and their parents are different. I'll bet my retirement that the parents in West Memphis are just plain 'hood rats.

I hate to say it but the cap and gown ceremony for kindergarten might be the only graduation ever for many of these children.

Kindergarten brawls are nothing. You want to see the absolute worst in "adult" parental behavior, go to a youth league sports game one of these days. Baseball, basketball, soccer, la crosse, etc. You pick. Parents treat the officials calling the games like they are trial judges who are deciding who to acquit and who is going down for something. And the obscenities loud-mouthed parents yelled to the opposing team kids is even more disgusting. And this isn't just a black on white thing or the reverse.
It's supposed to be youth athletics, people out there, not youth jury by trials. Let the kids play as kids and show the "adults" the door.

I graduated from Kindergarten in 1961. It was a very big deal in our small rural school. Mothers had sewn simple gowns and we each got a diploma which I still have. I had to memorize a short line and was terrified to speak in front of the principal (other kids told me she was a witch and I believed it). Afterwards Dad took the family to the Dairy Queen in his pink Rambler station wagon. We each got a 5 cent cone. First time I had been there.
Blessed be the memory of Miss Anderson who taught us the Looby Loo and Shoo Fly and the Hokey Pokey. And who helped us make butter to put on the crackers we ate with Stone Soup. And who caught us tasting the minty school paste.
Oh yes - the line I had to speak into a microphone so the entire auditorium could hear? "I will not talk at nap time." Yeah, that was me,

Reading that this took place in Arkansas, who would have thought it was a group of the usual suspects. I see that the black inner city culture travels even to middle America. I wonder what imagined act of discrimination started this?

THe fighting parents have reinforced every negative stereotype of Black mob mentality and culture that many have come to expect from them. Yes, I know that there will be cries of "this does not represent all Black people". I know that, Unfortunately, when your main exposure to Black people and culture is stuff like this, your negative opinions are just reinforced (as evidenced by the comments here) and the "Black Exhaustion" that many people suffer from.

No, #1...You don't need to look. This is yet another example of why even Black folks are fatigued. You usually have to go to a Waffle House or a Chuck E Cheese to see this sort of behavior.

There goes West Memphis where the Kindergartners are more intelligent than the progenators (the term "parents" does not apply here), keeping the "N" word more viable than ever!
