A teacher and a classroom aide at a Georgia middle school were reported to have threw punches and pulled each other’s hair in the presence of minor children while school was in session, over a boyfriend who each of them claimed was hers.
DeKalb Police charged Brittany Randolph-Johnson and Milan Ethridge with disrupting operations at Stone Mountain Middle School in downtown Atlanta and disrupting the peace, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.
The police report says that Randolph-Johnson and Ethridge “engaged in a verbal and physical altercation in the presence of minor children” at the school while school was in session, the station reports.
WGCL-TV quoted a student as saying that Randolph-Johnson and Ethridge were arguing about a male teacher. The teacher and the aide were fired, WSB-TV reported.
“I mean that’s not a good example in front of kids,” parent Valerie Stewart told the station. “That was just bad. It was just bad.”
Students say school officials examined cellphones and made students delete video of the fight, according to the station.
The DeKalb County School District said it was not aware of staff looking through student phones.
