Principal Works in Chicago to Help Youth.
PEREIRA: We certainly know the violence seems to be an ongoing problem in Chicago schools.</s>BERMAN: And in CNN's series, "Chicagoland," we visit high schools where students and teachers are literally wrestling to find and end to the bloodshed. Watch this.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's wrestling day by rock star Billy Corrigan.</s>BILLY CORRIGAN, WRESTLER: Hi. How are you?</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Cool. Nice to meet you.</s>CORRIGAN: Thanks for having us. It will be really good.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The kids love wrestling day. I was shocked. I didn't think I wanted wrestling there.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This wrestling exhibition may seem counter intuitive but four of these wrestlers are teachers.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: These days you can't go outside like it was in the past. You're afraid to go down to the streets of the park. Some kids will grow up angry. When they can find something like boxing or professional wrestling you start to see like a change, now they're not so aggressive.</s>PEREIRA: I want to bring in Robert Spicer, culture and climate specialist at Fenger High School in Chicago. Robert, thank you so much for joining us. So many people are eager to find a solution to some of the challenges going on in Chicago. We know the principal is working hard, struggling hard to save this school. Is it working?</s>ROBERT SPICER, CULTURE & CLIMATE SPECIALIST, FENGER HIGH SCHOOL: Yes, it is. As you saw from we have to think outside the box literally how to engage our young people. We integrated a variety of different programs. Because of budget cuts it's been very difficult. We are still working to manage our school. Our principal is still fighting the good fight and she's put together an incredible team at Fenger. We still need support and still need help. Bringing in the wrestlers and all these different innovative ways see how we can interact with our young people is really key how we will save our young people.</s>BERMAN: Robert, I love me some pro wrestling. I'm a Super Fly guy.</s>SPICER: Me, too.</s>BERMAN: He was the best. Super Fly jumped off the top rope. What's the reaction in that high school when that's going on?</s>SPICER: It's incredible. The young people see, you know, violence, right? But they've never seen something like that up close and controlled. Then, to have them to be actual teachers, to speak to them and talk to them and say, yes, I'm in the classroom and I know how important it is to have physical education and to have opportunities to be able to relieve some of that stress using physical interactions. It's a great way to open up an opportunity for young people to see a different side oppose to wrestling when it happens in terms of violence</s>PEREIRA: Let me play on the other side. I hear you, I really do. Let's play devil's advocate, and what do you say to people that say it's teaching kids the wrong message using aggression to work out their problems instead of sitting down and having a conversation. What do you say to them?</s>SPICER: I know the culture and that is definitely key in bringing together young people and adults alike to seek justice as a form of healing instead of punishment. We have to find ways to hook young people into a conversation. As you saw from the clip, after they did wrestling, they talked to the young people and engaged in a conversation. They told them this process we learned is something that's helping us and maybe it may help you. I know those watching "Chicagoland" saw the young lady doing the boxing league out of the church. There's so many ways we can hook our young people into positive things. In Chicago we have a war going on and violence running rampant in many communities. It's important to get a hook to bring the young people closer so we can have that conversation.</s>BERMAN: You hooked me at Super Fly. Robert Spicer, great to have you here.</s>PEREIRA: Thank you, Robert.</s>BERMAN: Appreciate your time. You can impact your world with five ways to make Chicago safer. Go to CNN/com.</s>PEREIRA: Tune in to "Chicagoland" tonight on CNN. Be sure to check it out.</s>BERMAN: I want to take a minute now to give you a little "Cable Outrage."</s>PEREIRA: I missed it.</s>BERMAN: Last night, a pitcher was thrown out of the game. He had pine tar on his neck, smeared on his neck he used to put on his hands to throw a baseball you're not supposed to do in baseball. A lot of people are upset at him for cheating.</s>PEREIRA: Sure.</s>BERMAN: No me. I'm frankly impressed, make that astounded. I am astounded any could cheat so badly. This is a large man. He's 6'7". He could have hid that pine tar in a couple dozen places.</s>PEREIRA: Where?</s>BERMAN: In his hat, his leg, his foot. No. He puts it on the part of his body where 35,000 bystanders are watching and talking all week about the fact that Michael Pineda had been using pine tar. This takes incredible effort what he's done, incredible enterprise to do so little to pretend you were not cheating. He clearly went to the Gary Hart school of not cheating.</s>PEREIRA: You did not.</s>BERMAN: Several hundred thousand of you in the demo too young to remember this, that is not Mrs. Hart and that is a T-shirt that actually says monkey business. Michael Pineda, not only did you make Michael Hart look like a deft cheater but Alex Rodriguez, when he allegedly went to great ends to cover up his use of performance enhancing drugs. Not you, Mike Pineda. You are too good for that. Too good of a bad cheater. Michael Pineda, we take our hats off to you.</s>PEREIRA: No.</s>BERMAN: We do. We take out hats off to you, especially because we know you would never think you would never think to hide your pine tar there.</s>PEREIRA: I need time to recover.</s>BERMAN: It's all yours?</s>PEREIRA: Now, I get to follow up. No pine tar abuse here. Check out something bananas. Two skydivers jumped off the world's tallest building in Dubai. They get a record for base jumping from a building 2700 feet, people. That's a half mile straight down. They practiced. Where did they do that? Jumping off a Swiss mountain.</s>BERMAN: I like the way they hold hands, so polite as you're plummeting.</s>PEREIRA: Jumping off a building in Dubai. I guess that will wrap it up for us. I'm Michaela Pereira.</s>BERMAN: We're back at 8:00, "360." Don't miss that.</s>PEREIRA: You need a nap.</s>BERMAN: We're going to talk to a couple of family members from the people onboard flight 370. Interesting discussion, 8:00 p.m. eastern "LEGAL VIEW" with Ashleigh Banfield starts right now.
