Mad Max: Product of the Dallas Public School System?

I always thought this kind of stuff was purely fantasy, but there have actually been cage fights in a Dallas high school.  Documents obtained by The Dallas Morning News show that troubled students at South Oak Cliff High School were sent to duke it out - with bare fists and no head protection - in a steel utility cage in an athletic locker room.

Could it be that the principal’s favorite movie character was Mad Max? Did he fancy himself a movie director? I can see it all now:

The school athletes are assembled around the cage and a member of the faculty announces:

“WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION OF THUNDERDOME!!”

Two students enter. One student leaves!

One response so far
