Police Called to Elementary School After 3rd Grader Makes ‘Racist’ Comment About a Brownie

Before this week, 14-year-old Ella Fishbough had never been in trouble at school.
The cheerful, curly-haired eighth-grader’s undoing came when she learned that a male friend was having a bad day. As consolation, Ella put her arms around him in a hug.
‘It was literally for a second,’ the eighth-grader told Click Orlando. But that moment earned her a morning in detention – as well as a blemish on her formerly spotless disciplinary record.
It is at each principal’s discretion to determine what kind of touching is inappropriate. According to WFTV Orlando, hugging was banned altogether at Jackson Heights this year, in addition to holding hands, linking arms and kissing.
