Police Arrest a Student, Then Her Principal, Too

It all began just before 8 a.m. ...when Isamar Gonzales, a 17-year-old senior, walked into East Side Community High School in Manhattan a little early, but was stopped by school safety officers, who asked her to leave and return later. She refused.

The confrontation escalated, according to the police and school officials, and within minutes Ms. Gonzales was under arrest, accused of punching an officer in the face. The school principal, Mark Federman, tried to intervene, and was also arrested on charges of obstructing government activity and resisting arrest. When other students arrived at the school in the East Village, they saw their principal and a fellow student being led away in handcuffs....

This from the New York Times.
