THE GRADUATION FIGHT IN A NUTSHELL

📍Kindergarten graduation turned into a real-life WWE SmackDown when parents clashed over seats, and let’s just say the kids were totally deprived of the ceremony.

📍Police reported one woman was arrested for assault, and another person required stitches after getting slammed into a chair – parenthood’s like a contact sport, huh? Parent Craig Mays told a local news station the kids were rehearsing downstairs while their parents were busy trading blows. ‘

📍There was another family who started grabbing chairs and making their own seating arrangements. I didn’t mind, but my kid’s mom was like, ‘Hey, I’m trying to see,” Mays said. Mays claimed he tried to take the high road, but the lady behind him was having none of it.

📍The girl behind me was cussing and talking trash. I was like, ‘Ma’am, can you please keep it down?’ And she’s like, ‘Mind your business, weirdo,” Mays said. Police identified the woman as Jessica Anderson, who apparently needs a seat, a napkin, and a reality check to go with her felonious assault charge.

📍Court records said she grabbed someone’s hair and bashed their head against a chair – yup, that’s what grown-ups do nowadays. The victim needed stitches and probably some therapy sessions too. Mays said he and Anderson went toe-to-toe until her family jumped him – five against one, real classy. ‘

📍Her whole family stood up – five guys, five girls – and I’m like, ‘Oh boy, this isn’t good.’ Next thing I know, I’m on the ground getting pummeled,’ Mays said. He described getting beat up like a piñata at a birthday party. ‘Once I was on the ground, it was like four or five guys were on top of me, punching me.

📍I think I got kicked in the head,’ Mays said. His kid’s mom tried to intervene, but video showed Anderson and her crew ganging up on her too. ‘She grabbed my kid’s mom by her hair and pulled her away. Then five or six other girls just started stomping her and kicking her in the face,’ Mays said.

📍School leaders called 911, probably because they wanted to get the kids out of there before they started learning bad habits. Mays, a kindergarten teacher, is heartbroken – yeah, who isn’t? ‘Those kids worked so hard for this graduation, and we just ruined it.

📍I’m a kindergarten teacher, and I couldn’t watch my own daughter graduate today,’ Mays said. Guess the graduation ceremony will have to be rescheduled, and maybe the parents should have a time-out – seriously.

The incident has gone viral on social media.
