PROTESTORS OCCUPY TANGI SCHOOLS
HAMMOND, Louisiana — A group of 11 year old students at Hammond Westside Elementary School say they plan to occupy Mrs. Gilbert’s fifth grade class for the next several years as long as the current Tangipahoa School System power structure remains in place.
This news comes just days after kindergarteners at Champ Cooper refused to partake in afternoon nap.
After the tittering tots ignored several verbal requests to go to sleep, Superintendent Mark Kolwe gave Ponchatoula PD the OK to restore order in Ms. Raybeaux’s classroom.
Officers stormed the classroom, destroyed book bags, ripped up coloring books, and crushed glue bottles before physically forcing the five and six year old students to take their naps.
Raybeaux described the scene: “One by one, each tot was thrown violently to the floor. The officer would then plant his knee onto the back of the screaming child, beating the back of their head with a riot shield until they finally gave up and went to sleep.”
The action only lasted a few minutes, but Raybeaux said that by the end of it all, her students were all “sleeping like little angels.”
Raybeaux insists that all officers of the Ponchatoula Police Department followed classroom decorum throughout the operation.
