Eight Arrested at Kindergarten Graduation
School was put on lockdown
A kindergarten graduation in Cleveland ended with eight people in detention — police detention — after an argument erupted into a sidewalk brawl.
Families of students at the Michael R. White School were gathered for the end-of-year ceremony when two teenagers got into a dispute and stepped outside to continue it, said Roseann Canfora, a spokeswoman for the city schools.
"There were no students from our school involved," Canfora said.

I recently attended the preschool graduation of my great nephew near Pittsburgh.
Afterwords when cookies and punch were served thee was riotous behavior: children chasing each other and screaming.
Authorities were not called.
Except these weren't the kindergarteners. They were teenagers that got into a fight. They weren't arresting kindergarten graduates.
