Students rally amid chaos at Lincoln Park school

A week of turmoil led to more uproar Thursday at Lincoln Park High School as families and teachers continued to face a revolving door of administrators and coaches leaving the school under a cloud of allegations.

Students held protests throughout the day, staging a sit-in in the morning before rallying outside and marching around the school. Inside, chaos ensued after several fights between students broke out. Chicago police officers were called into the school and later put a student into a squad car, but no arrests were made. Some students left early.

Meanwhile a student said Thursday he was "shocked" and "angry" when a new administrator at Lincoln Park grabbed him by the face in an incident that was caught on video earlier in the week.

The widely circulated video showed Judith Gibbs, a retired Chicago Public Schools principal put in charge this week at Lincoln Park in the midst of the scandal, grabbing 17-year-old Jovani Muñoz in a school hallway Tuesday while asking to see his school ID card.

The incident heightened tension after the abrupt firing Friday of beloved Interim Principal John Thuet and Assistant Principal Michelle Brumfield, and the suspension of the boys basketball season. CPS officials have released broad allegations of misconduct at the school, but have not said what exactly Thuet and Brumfield did that led to their ouster.
