MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A cafeteria food fight on "meat loaf day" led to the suspension of the entire eighth-grade class at a Memphis school. The students were suspended after refusing to clean up the mess they caused.

"Given an opportunity first to apologize for their behavior and help with the cleanup, most of the class refused to cooperate," school spokesman Vince McGaskill said.

The food fight broke out Wednesday at Geeter Middle School, which has 637 students in grades six through eight. Meat loaf and chicken were on the menu.

Principal Jada Meeks suspended students who were in the cafeteria during the fight, meaning the youngsters' parents must meet with school officials before the children can return to class.

2. Fairly lenient punishment. What lazy little shitheads.

If my son was involved, I'd personally drag his ass back to school and make him help the cafeteria ladies out for an hour or two.

5. Yes, my kid and several others have gotten into trouble just because they

were sitting at a table where three or four kids were throwing food... Those tables seat twenty.

Group punishment sucketh.
