A female high school sophomore — and yes, we assumed her gender — from Monarch High School in Broward County, Florida was arrested last week after a video of her beating the snot out of a fellow student went viral.
The incident occurred on November 9 and the video of the fight is quite brutal. It’s sort of sad that it took a viral clip to get this girl punished for her actions.
The incident “shows two girls exchanging words before one of them repeatedly punches the other, pulls her hair and slams her head down on a classroom desk as dozens of students watch,” WPLG Local 10 News reported.
The 15-year-old suspect was reportedly issued a civil citation and was not criminally charged because Broward County adopted the PROMISE program, which is an Obama-era program that seeks to significantly lower punishments for crimes committed by students.

The videos of the fight both contain strong language:
Here is part 1 of the brutal fight at @browardschools.
The Promise program implemented by Obama & supported by @RobertwRuncie has allowed kids to go undetected/unpunished in the school system.

Broward schools @RobertwRuncie allowed this girl to get a civil citation only! Watch this attack.
The Promise program implemented by the Obama admin allows schools to apply lighter punishments & conceal incidents like this.
This is not acceptable. #accountability #FixIT pic.twitter.com/hb9N3rv1d8

The suspect “says that her rage did not come out of nowhere,” 7News Boston WHDH reported. “She says that the girl she attacked has been repeatedly bullying her since middle school,” adding that she claims that a group of students “have been calling her names and threatening to jump her.”
The student has been withdrawn from the school and now faces a misdemeanor battery charge over the incident.
The PROMISE program has been the object of much scrutiny ever since the Parkland shooting, after the general public discovered that the program allowed violent, deeply disturbed students to commit crimes without fear of legal consequences.
Let’s hope these incidents draw enough national attention to the PROMISE program to cause the school district to consider ditching it in favor of something that will actually provide protection for students.
