And don't forget profiling ...
One of my coworkers is a graduate (or rather survivor) of the Norristown school district and he said that in his day (he got out in the early 80s) "salt and pepper" fights were not uncommon.
My school didn't even have a special name for them, and we certainly never had a school-clearing (or even cafeteria-clearing) brawl.
In fact, the only actual fight I ever remember seeing involved a gym teacher throwing one of the stoners headfirst into a set of lockers.
