Two students enter, one student leaves!

Donald Moten is the former principal of South Oak Cliff High, a Dallas high school. For two years, from 2003 through 2005, a 2008 report says that Moten arranged for student cage matches in a form of "gladiator-style entertainment." Moten says it's bullhonky: "That's barbaric. You can't do that at a high school. You can't do that anywhere."

(Clearly, Moten hasn't heard of a little thing called Thunderdome!)

Moten retired last year, with no charges having been filed against him or anyone else over the years-long gladiating, depsite the report's finding that many school employees knew about this and let the battles rage on.

Moral of the story? Texas approves of cage fighting. Which really isn't a surprise if you've ever been to Texas.
