Parents face assault charges in attack on students, adults at Philadelphia school

Police in Philadelphia are looking to arrest two parents who they say entered an elementary school and attacked ten students, two teachers and a police officer.

The parents, whose identities were not revealed, entered Jay Cooke Elementary on Tuesday with a teenager during an awards ceremony for honor students, school spokesman Fernando Gallard told the Philadelphia Daily News.

But instead of attending the assembly, the parents and the teen went to the third floor of the building and ignored a school police officer’s request to sign in, sparking a confrontation. Gallard said the parents admitted that they entered the school to fight two students, but did not elaborate.

I don't think they were Amish, but I'm sure it wasn't their fault they came to school wanting to fight. Never try to hold folks accountable. It's like suspending students for stuff they actually did.
