Kids are wound too tight. Remember when food fights were silly goofy things that lead to students mopping floors?


BINGHAMTON -- Students arrested during brawls outside the high school Thursday have been suspended pending superintendent's hearings that could lead to their expulsion from school.

District and high school officials are still investigating the details of the students' actions during the melee that escalated from a food fight in the cafeteria to brawls and confrontations between students, police and administrators outside the high school, Principal Albert Penna said.

Four adults -- two police officers and two assistant principals -- were injured. The most seriously injured was Associate Principal Martin Klein who was hit the face with a cell phone by a female student.
