Moose Jaw high school fight ends in controversy, anxiety for students [Video]

A fight between students at AE Peacock Collegiate in Moose Jaw on Tuesday has resulted in a tense environment this week, creating anxiety for some students.

A video of the incident has been circulating the school, which shows two students involved in a verbal fight before the vice-principal steps in to break it up. Students say there was a physical fight before the video was taken.

While there is controversy surrounding whether the vice-principal used the right tactics to break up the fight, students are feeling a divide.

Scout Panko is a senior at the school.

“I’d say it’s about three quarters and one quarter, where one quarter is thinking that there’s something deeper to what happened,” she said referencing the vice-principal. “I don’t think there’s anything else he really could have done.”

Student Kate Hansen said what people didn’t see in the video is another female teacher who attempted to stop the fight, but the students continued to yell and swear.
