Credible Sources understands that both students were made to apologize to each other and were cautioned not to repeat such behaviors before being sent back to their respective classes. A few minutes later the Acting Principal is said to have received a call from the High Court Official whose daughter was the student prevented from entering the classroom by the male student.
The parent, it is alleged, expressed dissatisfaction with the way in which the matter was handled. It is further alleged that while trying to explain what took place the Principal was interrupted by the parent saying aggressively, “Who do you think you are to have my child apologize to someone who hit her? I am recording you, are you saying that if someone hits my child she must not hit back?”
The High Court official is alleged to have said to the Principal, “You are an incompetent woman and I will see to it that you are removed from that office. This matter will be reported to the police and I will bring the police into Queens College. The matter is said to be under investigation. Teachers at the institution were on a ‘go-slow’ today over the incident. [Developing story]
