This week’s spice, Augustus F. Hawkins High School, was on the news. On March 11, Hawkins made an appearance on Univision. For those wondering, Univision is a well-known Latin worldwide news channel. Many students were going around spreading the word. Some were shocked, and some were surprised, but what we do know is it isn’t the first time Hawkins was on the news. You may be wondering
Well, on March 6 during lunch, there was a huge fight that broke out. No one knew what was going on. There were phones out, flashes, clicking, and even a person recording the whole thing on a Chromebook, which surprisingly got better quality and better angles than the videos recorded on phones. The fight was between one student against 5-6. Just think about it: one vs. five to six. What does one do in that situation?
The kid fighting alone was left really beat, you can see in the videos that his head is left red. The mom did not let this slide and decided to report it, she spoke about it on the news and stated that her son doesn’t know English and that he claimed not to have understood why the group of kids were fighting him, he claims to be innocent.
Many people know that situations like this are what start rumors. Some say he got beat because he was abusing a girl and got caught, and others claim to have physically seen him smack one of guy’s phone out of his hand that fought him. Meanwhile, others say it’s pure bullying. Do we know the real reason? No, we do not. Will we get to know? Probably not. Will this be Hawkins’s last appearance on the news? Will this lead to Hawkins becoming better? Many questions people have, but no answers.
