Bathroom Ban Leads To Riot At NYC High School

CBS

Hundreds of students at Murry Bergtraum High School took a stand this week after being told they couldn't use the bathrooms at school.

Fed up with what some say are strict policies, crowds of angry teens rushed the Manhattan school's halls, creating chaos, reports CBS 2's Derrick Dennis.

It was literally a riot -- students crowded the hallways, screaming at the top of their lungs and protesting what they said was the principal's decision to close all the bathrooms to students.

"What happened was two students started fighting, and the principal got mad, and closed all the bathrooms, and then all the kids went crazy and just started a riot," one student said.
