The brutal fight at Jehue Middle School in Colton, California, on March 10, 2025, has left the entire community in shock. But what's the real story behind this violent classroom incident that led to a female student being slammed onto a desk by a male student, knocking her unconscious?
In a viral video circulating on social media, the female student is seen throwing a laptop at the male student, which triggered the violent reaction. The male student retaliated by grabbing her, lifting her up, and slamming her head on a desk, leaving her unconscious on the floor while classmates screamed in panic.
What's even more disturbing is that the substitute teacher in the classroom stood by and did nothing to stop the violence.

Why Did the Boy Hit the Girl?
Sources close to the incident claim that the female student had been provoking the male student for days, using racial slurs, including the N-word, which deeply offended him. According to some students, she had been bullying him and making disrespectful remarks about his background.
However, others claim the male student had anger issues and couldn't control his emotions when the situation escalated.
What the Girl's Side is Saying:
The girl's family is now claiming she was defending herself, as the boy had allegedly been harassing her for weeks. Her parents believe the school failed to protect her from bullying, which ultimately led to this violent clash.
What the Boy's Side is Saying:
The boy's family argues that he lost control after being racially targeted and provoked multiple times. They claim their son had been mentally affected by the constant bullying and insults.
Racial Slurs in the Video
In the video, classmates can be heard using racially charged language and repeatedly dropping the N-word, which has raised serious concerns about racism within the school environment.
Legal Actions Taken:
- The male student has been charged with battery on school grounds.
- The female student has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon (for throwing the laptop).
- Both students were released to their parents after being cited.
The School's Pathetic Response:
Parents are furious over how the school handled the situation. The American Freedmen Legal Fund has sent an official letter to the school, demanding answers on why the teacher did nothing and why parents were not informed immediately.
In the letter, the legal fund asked:
- Why didn't the teacher intervene?
- Why weren't parents notified?
- What disciplinary action is being taken against the male student?
- What policies does the school have to prevent racial harassment and violence?
California Senator Eloise Gómez Reyes Speaks Out:
In her statement, she condemned the incident, saying:
"It is unacceptable for any student to experience violence or harassment in a learning environment. The district must take immediate action and ensure our children are safe."
