I talked to Jennifer Pake who claims a wrestling coach at Kearsley High School in Michigan choked her son during an argument. You can see in the video a man is following a boy down a hallway. The mom says the coach used profanities at the 17-year-old student and choked him.
The school district released the following statement:
" Once we became aware of this incident that occurred on the evening of Friday, February 2nd, our assistant wrestling coach was immediately placed on administrative leave as we conducted our investigation. We immediately contacted law enforcement and other appropriate authorities. Following the conclusion of our district investigation, the coach was then terminated on the next business day, Monday, February 5th.
As a district, we remain committed to the safety of all students and have already begun plans to implement additional professional learning opportunities to ensure all coaches are properly trained in de-escalation strategies and the emotional situations that arise in athletics."
Jen says her son was suspended for his verbal altercations against the coach. She tells me she doesn't condone her son's behavior but says it was wrong that the coach put his hands on her son.
As of now, it does not appear as if charges have been filed in this case.
Jen is hoping my going public this will bring change at the school and allow parents nationwide to be on alert.

LIVONIA, Mich. — Livonia Public Schools says administrators at Churchill High School took action after becoming aware of a student’s reported depiction of the killing of Charlie Kirk.
According to information provided to Keeping it Real, a student reportedly arrived at Churchill High School dressed to depict Kirk being killed, including what appeared to be fake blood running down the student’s neck.
The incident raised questions about how the school responded and whether the depiction violated district policies.
A photograph of the student in the costume was subsequently posted to a non- affiliated
Churchill Instagram account, with the song “We Are Charlie Kirk.”
I have obtained a copy of the photo, but due to its disturbing nature, I have chosen not to publish it.
Keeping it Real contacted school officials seeking an explanation of what happened and how administrators handled the situation.
Stacy Jenkins, administrator of district communications, said Churchill High School officials learned about the situation at the beginning of the school day and acted quickly.
“Churchill High School administration was made aware of the situation at the start of the school day and swiftly addressed it with the student involved,” Jenkins said.
Jenkins acknowledged that the depiction was inappropriate.
“While we cannot prevent every poor choice a student may make, we can ensure that inappropriate behavior is addressed when our administration becomes aware — that is exactly what occurred in this situation,” Jenkins said. “The depiction was inappropriate and did not align with our expectations for student behavior.”
The district’s response does not specify what action was taken involving the student or whether disciplinary measures were imposed.
The incident comes amid heightened concerns about how schools handle depictions or references to real-world political violence, particularly when they involve students.
