Cliffside Park High gives 37 students detention after protest over 'speak American' video
The district's report does not specify what the detentions are for. However, a number of Cliffside Park High School students said Thursday that they had been called in by administrators and given punishments ranging from Saturday detentions to multi-day suspensions after their protest. "I feel that it was wrong," sophomore Anthony Campos said on Thursday of the punitive measures. "We've got to stand up for what we believe in."
The detention report, obtained through an Open Public Records Act request, lists 37 students as scheduled for Saturday, with none scheduled "at this time" for the two subsequent Saturdays. About 50 students troubled by the outburst walked out of the Palisade Avenue school for an hour or so in the middle of the day Monday, carrying flags and chanting.
Campos said that before the protest, school administrators — including Principal Lawrence Pinto — made an announcement over the public address system warning that there would be repercussions for students who walked out.
The district told The Record on Thursday that two students — a freshman and a junior — had received suspensions during the week. The reasons for those suspensions were not released.

A sad day when a HS teacher does not know what language she herself is speaking
