by editor on Oct.23, 2009, under News

Political Swagger’s Tonja Styles interviews Cassandra Robinson, the parent of two Fenger High School students, after a fight broke out in the school’s lunchroom Thursday afternoon. Five students were arrested, four charged with reckless conduct and one charged with aggravated assault after alledgedly threatening a teacher. Robinson, who is part of a coalition for “Safe Passage” for Fenger students lives in Altgeld Gardens, says things are getting worse. While Kenya Atkins says her 16-year-old daughter was handcuffed just to use the bathroom during the lock-down.
The larger issue still at hand: The “beef” between 2 communities, “The Gardens” and “The Ville.”
